With the Week 16 games set to begin in just hours, here is who fans should root for with the Eagles looking to move back into the No. 1 seed<\/p>\n

NFL seasons are a marathon, but they go by quickly, and with Week 16 upon us, that leaves three more weeks of regular-season football before seven teams from each conference embark on a potential Super Bowl run. For Philadelphia, it’s about winning one game to secure the NFC East, and with two matchups against the lowly Commanders<\/a>, a jump to the No. 2 seed is possible.<\/p>\n

Washington (4-10) will host Philadelphia (9-5) in an NFC battle on Saturday afternoon as part of an NFL on FOX doubleheader, with Chicago hosting Green Bay in a critical NFC North matchup. Philadelphia leads the NFC East division with a 9-5 (.643) record and currently holds the No. 3 seed in the conference playoff picture.<\/p>\n

The Commanders will host the Eagles<\/a> in Week 16 for the second consecutive season, and Washington is looking for back-to-back NFC East wins after defeating the New York Giants<\/a> 29-21 in Week 15.<\/p>\n

With the Thursday night matchup between the Rams<\/a> (11-3) and Seahawks (11-3) set for a thriller on Thursday night, we’re looking at the Week 16 rooting guide for Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Eagles record<\/p>\n

Philadelphia is 9-5, first in the NFC East, and currently the No. 3 seed in the playoff picture.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rams will face the Falcons and Cardinals<\/a> to end the season.<\/p>\n
