The Eagles (No. 7) jumped ahead of the Minnesota Vikings in the playoff race after defeating the New York Giants on Sunday.
Philadelphia now has won three consecutive games and six of their past eight, and the Eagles can clinch a playoff berth this weekend if they bat Washington, the Vikings lose to the Packers and the Saints lose to the Panthers or the Texans lose to the 49ers.
With the Birds now in a sweet spot, experts from around the league are now loving Philadelphia’s ascension.
After spending the bulk of the season outside the top-20, the Eagles have surged into the top-15.
