From Seahawks to Cowboys and beyond, we're breaking down the NFC playoff picture by ranking the 2025 wild-card contenders.
5. Buffalo Bills (7-3), wild card No. 1: QB Josh Allen's big game Sunday moved Buffalo up one spot in the seeding but got the Bills no closer to the AFC East lead. Tough game in Houston looms Thursday night. Remaining schedule: at Texans, at Steelers, vs. Bengals, at Patriots, at Browns, vs. Eagles, vs. Jets
A winning record still has the Chargers in control of their playoff destiny, at least at face value. As Chargers.com’s Eric Smith pointed out, The Athletic still gives the Chargers a 64 percent chance. ESPN is right behind at 63 percent. The chance stays at an even 60 percent when looking at the numbers from NFL’s Next Gen Stats.
If the Giants lose as a heavy underdog Sunday to the Lions, they will become the NFL’s first team eliminated from playoff contention if any of the following results also happen: a Seahawks win or tie as heavy favorites against the Titans, a Vikings win against the Packers or a Cowboys win against the Eagles.
The Eagles beat the Cowboys, 24-20, in Week 1. Quarterback Jalen Hurts ran for two touchdowns, and the Eagles shut out the Cowboys in the second half. While the Eagles have surged forward, they have hit a couple of speed bumps including their current offensive struggles.
The Philadelphia Eagles won the first meeting but that was back on Sept. 4, and since then they continued to win while the Cobwoys continued to lose, so what's changed since then?
