Eagles snap count vs. Seahawks: Breakdown, observations from 20-17 loss in Week 15

The Eagles have clinched a playoff berth but are working to get back into the postseason after dropping their third straight game to an NFC opponent.

On Monday night, Philadelphia allowed 17 second-half points, blew a late lead, and allowed Drew Lock to drive Seattle 92 yards for a game-winning touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with less than a minute remaining.

Jalen Hurts would eventually get picked off by Julian Love for a second time, and the Eagles are now 10-4 with just three games left on the schedule.

With preparation for the Giants set to begin, we’re looking at Monday night’s snap count and playing time percentages.
