Eagles Schedule Lightens Up
The Eagles’ schedule lightens up down the stretch with two games against the Commanders left and one game against the Las Vegas Raiders among four remaining contests.
Nick Sirianni’s team’s Week 17 clash with the Buffalo Bills at Buffalo is the only game left against a team still in the playoff picture.
With the Cowboys sitting at 6-6-1 and the Eagle having recorded a 1-1 season series split, Siriani’s team is firmly in the driver’s seat for a playoff berth and division title.
