Everything You Need To Know About The Eagles' Big Game Sunday

All of the sudden, the Eagles are back in the playoff hunt.

In fact, they’re tied for first place - in their division.

How did this happen?

Haven’t you been hearing, non-stop, about how head coach Chip Kelly will be fired? Isn’t this supposed to be the most disappointing Eagles team in recent memory?

Thanks to a string of good luck, the completely improbable collapse of probably the best team in the NFL last week, and their division rival New York Giants losing their fourth game of the year in the final moments of the fourth quarter, the Eagles are miraculously in contention for the postseason.

But they’re not there yet. Their dismal 5-7 record has them in a three-way tie for first place with the Giants and the Washington Redskins.

Their opponent on Sunday, the Buffalo Bills, are 6-6, and have had an arguably tougher schedule, as the Eagles play a lump of their games against the worst division in all of football.

Around the NFL, just as important as the Eagles game are the Redskins and the Giants games.

The Redskins face the Chicago Bears at 1 p.m., while the Giants play the Miami Dolphins on Monday Night Football.
