The Eagles entered Week 16 needing some help to remain in the playoff hunt and the Baltimore Ravens provided that helping hand.
In the post-Week-15 NFC East playoff scenarios per Deniz Selman, the Eagles needed the Giants to lose one of their final two-games (Bal, DAL), and on Sunday, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens made things interesting heading to the afternoon slate of games.
Jackson went 17 of 26, for 183 and 2 touchdowns as Baltimore dominated the Giants at home.
Gus Edwards led the Ravens with 85 yards on 15 carries.
All four teams are currently still alive with the Giants’, loss and it sets up a scenario where three teams in the division need a Washington loss at home to Carolina to keep hopes alive.
If Washington loses and the Eagles defeat the Cowboys, then the Football Teams’ Week 17 matchup in Philadelphia will be for the division title.
If Washington loses to Carolina and the Cowboys defeat the Eagles, then the Football Team could still win the division at Philadelphia in Week 17.
If Washington loses to Carolina, the Eagles lose to the Cowboys in Week 16 and the Football Teams loses at Philadelphia in Week 17, then the Week 17 matchup between Dallas and the New York Giants would be for the division title.
