PHILADELPHIA – The second-seeded Eagles will open the playoffs at home on Sunday at 4:30 on FOX against the No. 7 seed Green Bay Packers.
Philly won on Sunday against the New York Giants, 20-13, to reach a franchise-record 14 wins, which was achieved just two years ago when they also went 14-3. That made Nick Sirianni just the second head coach in NFL history to win 14-plus games twice in their first four career years, joining George Seifert (1988, ’90, ’92).
“It's cool,” said Sirianni. “Again, that takes contributions from everybody. We always talk about doing special things, and you have special things to do during the regular season and then the postseason. Winning the division, tying a franchise record, that's cool.”
The Eagles went to the Super Bowl when they won 14 in 2022, but they did so as the No. 1 seed in the NFC, which comes with a bye. As a two seed, they are guaranteed another home game if they beat the Packers.
Philly created its own bye week by resting its starters against the Giants.
