NFC playoff picture: Eagles have a manageable path to the final wild-card spot

The Eagles are on the way up and flourishing heading into Week 12.

After searching for an identity early on in the season, Nick Sirianni’s Birds are taking the “nasty approach” to getting wins these days.

Entering Week 12, Philadelphia sits in a prime position to make a late run to the postseason.

The mentally tough Arizona Cardinals are now the No. 1 overall seed in the conference after a win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

Philadelphia currently sits in second place in the NFC East and just a game out of the seventh and final playoff spot.

The 5-6 Eagles will have winnable matchups upcoming against both New York teams (Giants-Jets), along with two division matchups against Washington, a home matchup against the Giants, before closing with Dallas.
