NFC playoff picture entering Week 13: Eagles lose grip on No. 1 seed

The Eagles have started 6-2 or better for the fourth consecutive year, tying the longest such stretch in franchise history (also 1947-50). Still, Philadelphia is reeling after blowing a 21-point lead in a 24-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium on Sunday. The loss, coupled with a dominant performance by the Rams, has the Eagles still in the top spot in the NFC East, but now the No. 2 seed in the conference, with a huge Black Friday matchup against the third-seed Bears slated for Week 13.
