The NFL hands out punishments to the players involved in the fight between the Commanders and Eagles from Week 16.

While the Philadelphia Eagles can still get the No. 2 seed in the NFC, they reportedly plan on sidelining quarterback Jalen Hurts and others when they take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Just one game separates the Eagles from their playoff opener in what will be their fifth consecutive postseason appearance. Will the Eagles play their starters or will they rest them? Will the Eagles finish with the second or third seed in the NFC?

From the moment the NFL schedules were revealed in May, pundits around the league have harped on the demanding schedule and whether Philadelphia "measured up" to their specific opponent from week to week. Entering the Week 18 season finale, the Eagles are 8-2 against 10 opponents that made the postseason last year.

The Philadelphia Eagles still have something to play for heading into the NFL's final week of the regular season, but head coach Nick Sirianni made an important decision for the team's Week 18 matchup.

The Eagles escaped Highmark Stadium with a 13-12 win over the Buffalo Bills, extending their winning streak as they head into the last game of the regular season. After the win, the Birds have moved up in some of the national power rankings and have fallen three spots in another.

The Philadelphia Eagles come in as the NFC East champions, but the Buffalo Bills have work to do to retain their AFC East title when they host this NFL Week 17 matchup. The Eagles (10-5) hit a rough patch and went on a three-game losing skid because of an inconsistent offense but have bounced back to score 60 points in winning their past two games.

The Packers are likely to rest players too, affecting their defense, since they are locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC. That’s unfortunate, because this unit would otherwise be a nice streamer against Max Brosmer and the Vikings' lackluster offense this week.

AFC North: The Pittsburgh Steelers (9-7) and Baltimore Ravens (8-8) will meet with a playoff berth on the line. The winner becomes the AFC’s No. 4 seed and claims the conference’s final postseason spot, while the loser watches the playoffs from the couch.
