Eagles Clinch NFC East Title with Victory

The Philadelphia Eagles secured the NFC East title with a commanding 41-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys, marking a significant turnaround from their prior week's loss. Quarterback Kenny Pickett stepped in for the injured Jalen Hurts, who remains in concussion protocol. The Eagles also clinched at least a second seed in the NFC playoffs, keeping alive hopes for the top seed, contingent on outcomes of other teams in Week 18. Meanwhile, the Cowboys, despite recent victories, are eliminated from playoff contention and will miss star WR CeeDee Lamb for the remainder of the season due to a shoulder injury. Saquon Barkley is on track to potentially break the single-season rushing record, adding to the intrigue as the Cowboys' struggling defense faces him next. The Eagles' coaching staff is considering resting Hurts to ensure his full recovery ahead of the playoffs.
