The Eagles have clinched the NFC East, but still want to win in Week 17 against the Bills.

The Philadelphia Eagles are 10-5 heading into their Week 17 matchup against the Buffalo Bills (11-4) on Sunday late-afternoon.

The Eagles have been able to string together two wins in a row coming off a three-game losing streak, and against the Commanders last week, clinched the NFC East and their spot in the playoffs. Still, their most recent victories were against the Raiders and Commanders, two teams more interested in draft position than the post-season. The Bills on Sunday will be a good gauge into how things have really changed for Philly’s still-evolving offense, and will be a good opportunity for Jalen Carter to get back on the field with the defense before the end of the regular season.

Saquon Barkley has had much more success in the run game the last couple games, and has reminded fans — and perhaps even himself — that his spins and footwork are impressive, but he’s also still perfectly capable of lowering his shoulder and bulldozing defenses. As the run game starts to take hold, the passing game has been elevated, too, and Jalen Hurts has been moving around a lot more in these recent wins. Overall, things look to be heading in the right direction at the right time of the season, but Buffalo will be a challenge.

The Eagles defense should get some good work in, too, against Josh Allen and the AFC’s top scoring offense. Jalen Carter will get back on the field after getting some injections in both shoulders that sidelined him for a few weeks. This will allow Brandon Graham to move back on the outside and help keep guys fresh with a deeper rotation. The secondary has settled into place with Marcus Epps back in at safety, and coverage has been tight by Cooper DeJean and Quinyon Mitchell. Adoree’ Jackson has also stepped up and has made some big plays in big moments.

The pieces are all there for Philadelphia, but seeing those pieces find ways to be efficient consistently against Buffalo will give quite the boost heading into the postseason.

Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the game.
