The fourteenth Sunday of the 2025 NFL regular season is here!
Let’s run through a Philadelphia Eagles-focused rooting guide for all of the remaining Week 14 games.
NFC PLAYOFF PICTURE
Here’s a look at the current NFC playoff picture, via ESPN:
The Eagles currently have just a 5.7% chance of getting the No. 1 seed, per Football Outsiders. Here are the scenarios for the Eagles to get a first-round bye, as outlined by the great Deniz Selman:
PHILADELPHIA EAGLES at LOS ANGELES CHARGERS: The Eagles really need to snap their two-game losing streak and beat the Bolts on Monday night. Go Birds.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS at ATLANTA FALCONS: A Seahawks loss works towards the Eagles having a better chance at the No. 1 seed. Root for the Falcons.
NEW ORLEANS SAINTS at TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS: The Eagles have a head-to-head tiebreaker over the Bucs but still best to root for Tampa to lose so that Philly doesn’t fall to the No. 4 seed. Hosting the No. 5 seed (likely the second place team in the NFC West) doesn’t seem ideal. Root for the Saints.
CHICAGO BEARS at GREEN BAY PACKERS: The Eagles likely need multiple Bears losses in order for Philly to be able to get the No. 1 seed. Root for the Packers.
LOS ANGELES RAMS at ARIZONA CARDINALS: The Eagles need the Rams to lose at least one more time in order to be able to move ahead of them in the NFC playoff picture. As an added bonus, Arizona winning keeps the Cardinals ahead of the Jets in the draft order (more on that topic below). Root for the Cardinals.
NFC EAST FOCUS
DALLAS COWBOYS at DETROIT LIONS: The Cowboys lost to the Lions on Thursday night, dropping the Eagles’ magic number to win the division to three. If the Eagles win three of their final five games, the division crown is theirs regardless of what Dallas does down the stretch. Cowboys lost.
WASHINGTON COMMANDERS at MINNESOTA VIKINGS: The Commanders are looking pretty dead at 3-9 but they’re not yet officially eliminated from playoff contention. It would be best to see them get eliminated so they have less reason to play Jayden Daniels in their final games, two of three are which against the Eagles. Root for the Vikings.
DRAFT PICK CONSIDERATIONS
Here’s the current 2026 NFL Draft order for non-playoff teams, via Tankathon:
MIAMI DOLPHINS at NEW YORK JETS: Thanks to last year’s Haason Reddick trade, the Eagles own the Jets’ third-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The more the Jets lose, the more favorable the pick will be for the Birds. Root for the Dolphins.
CINCINNATI BENGALS at BUFFALO BILLS: The Bengals winning helps to ensure they won’t move ahead of the Jets in the draft order. Root for the Bengals.
TENNESSEE TITANS at CLEVELAND BROWNS: Let’s face it: the Jets aren’t moving ahead of the Titans at this point. They might be able to move ahead of the Browns in the draft order, though. Also, the Titans losing keeps Tennessee ahead of the Giants in the draft order. Root for the Browns.
WHAT’S LEFT
INDIANAPOLIS COLTS at JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS: Doesn’t matter to this Eagles this season but maybe there’s a chance the Colts fire Shane Steichen if they collapse down the stretch? And Steichen can come back to Philly to be the offensive coordinator in 2026? Root for the Jaguars.
DENVER BRONCOS at LAS VEGAS RAIDERS: Assuming the Eagles can beat the Raiders (big problem if they can’t) in Week 15, the Eagles stand to benefit having the best record possible in terms of the strength of victory tiebreaker. Root for the Raiders.
HOUSTON TEXANS at KANSAS CITY CHIEFS: Guessing people would rather see the Chiefs move closer to elimination but KC winning helps the Eagles from a strength of victory tiebreaker perspective. Root for the Chiefs.
PITTSBURGH STEELERS at BALTIMORE RAVENS: Doesn’t matter.
