Philadelphia is in a good position heading into Week 18. But they can clinch the best record in the conference with a victory. As a result, the Eagles are going to do everything they can to earn a win on Sunday.

Despite their recent difficult stretch, the Eagles are one of the most talented teams in the NFL. Powering through the NFC will prove to be a challenge in the postseason. But with Jalen Hurts ready to roll, Philadelphia will be confident heading into the NFL playoffs.
