The Vikings are no longer in the running for the NFC’s top playoff seed after getting blown out on Sunday to the Green Bay Packers. Even if the Eagles lose and the Vikings’ win, Minnesota would lose a head-to-head tie-breaker with the Birds. They’d also lose any three-way tie-breaker with the Cowboys and Vikings, due to their conference record.
Because Week 18 is a national doubleheader, in Philadelphia Eagles-Giants will air on CBS3, while Cowboys-Commanders will air on Fox29. Philly fans will also get two 1 p.m. games.
