Eagles Clinch No. 2 Seed in NFC Playoffs, Host Opening-Round Game After Vikings' 27-25 Win Over Packers

Dec 30, 2024, 12:35 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles have officially secured the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs following the Minnesota Vikings' 27-25 victory over the Green Bay Packers. This outcome means the Eagles will host an opening-round playoff game at Lincoln Financial Field, likely against either the Washington Commanders or the Packers. With nothing at stake in their upcoming game against the New York Giants, the Eagles are expected to rest their starters to prepare for the playoffs. They will have home-field advantage throughout the first two rounds of the playoffs, and if they advance to the NFC Championship Game, they will host that match as well, unless facing the No. 1 seed. The Eagles' path to the No. 1 seed required losses by both the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions, which will not occur, solidifying their position as the second seed.
