The Eagles laid an egg on Sunday, dropping the season finale to the Giants, 27-10, in an embarrassing performance without DeVonta Smith, Fletcher Cox, and an injured A.J. Brown.
Philadelphia played uninspired football in the first half and trailed 24-0 entering the second half.
In a first half that can only be described as a disaster, Hurts was 7-16 passing for 55 yards and one interception.
Hurts was sacked twice, suffered a nasty injury to his right middle finger, and finished the first half with a 26.8 rating before being pulled for Marcus Mariota.
Around the NFC, Tampa Bay clinched the NFC South with a win over Carolina, while Green Bay is back in the playoffs without Aaron Rodgers after a 17-9 win over the Bears that saw quarterback Jordan Love stamp on the franchise.
In Washington, Dallas secured the No. 2 seed and the NFC East with a convincing 38-10 win over the Commander in what is expected to be Ron Rivera’s final game.
With one game remaining on the NFL’s regular season schedule, here’s an early look at the NFC playoff bracket, with the date and times for the matchups.
1) 49ers (bye + home field)
(2). Cowboys vs. (6). Packers
A low-key rivalry around the league, Green Bay will travel to Dallas and has the offensive firepower to pull off the upset.
(3.) Lions vs. (6.) Rams
Matthew Stafford will return to Detroit for the first time since being traded for Jared Goff and draft picks.
