The top of the NFC is the place to be on Sunday afternoon of Week 16 of the NFL season. The Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are 12-2 and competing for the number one spot with the playoffs quickly approaching. The Lions are in the driver’s seat right now, controlling their own destiny, but any slip-up means the Eagles would have a shot at that all-important first-round bye. Philadelphia will be tested Sunday in Washington against a 9-5 Commanders team that is trying to develop a rhythm down the stretch. They’ve won their last two games, but looked shaky in a 1-point win over the Saints last week. The Eagles take the NFC East division title with a win, while the Commanders clinch a playoff spot with a win on Sunday and losses to the Falcons and Rams or Falcons and Seahawks.
The Lions can retain that top spot in the NFC with a win over the Bears in the early window, while Minnesota faces Seattle in the late window.
