  • Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia was unable to go undefeated on its three-game road trip in December, falling to Dallas in a 40-34 decision last week after defeating the Giants and Bears.

The Eagles remain the top team in the NFC heading into this week, needing just one win in the final two weeks to secure the top seed in the playoffs.

With a win on Sunday, they would also be able to rest their starters in the regular season finale.

In the loss to Dallas, Philadelphia was without star quarterback Jalen Hurts (shoulder), who is questionable to return on Sunday.

This season, he had 3,472 passing yards and 35 touchdowns before spraining his shoulder in a win over Chicago.

  • New Orleans Saints

New Orleans enters this game with a win-or-bust mentality, as a win is required to keep its playoff hopes alive.

To make the playoffs, the Saints must win their final two games and Tampa Bay must lose their final two games.

They’ve kept their slim hopes alive with wins over Atlanta and Cleveland this month, erasing a 10-3 deficit in their 17-10 victory at Cleveland last week.

Chris Olave, a rookie wide receiver, has been a bright spot for New Orleans, catching 63 passes for 940 yards and three touchdowns. The Saints rank 18th in the NFL in terms of offense, averaging 337.1 yards per game. They will face a Philadelphia defense that ranks second in the league, allowing only 301.9 yards per game.
