NFL playoff scenarios for Week 14: Eagles among 3 teams who can clinch with a win

The Eagles spent the early part of the season stacking wins, and even after a 42-19 loss to the 49ers last Sunday, Nick Sirianni’s team still has created a clinching scenario for Week 14.

All Philadelphia has to do is snap the Dallas Cowboys’ 14-game home winning streak in a Sunday night showdown.

The NFL just released the clinching scenarios, and three NFC teams can lock up spots, with the Eagles or Cowboys having to wait a week based on the outcome of their game.

The AFC has a much tighter race, and even with two teams having nine wins, their playoff picture is not so clear.
