The final Sunday of the 2025 regular season is upon us!

And while most of the playoff picture is in place, there is plenty of drama surrounding the two final spots as well as the final seeding.

The Eagleshost the Washington Commanders on Sunday at 4:25 PM(CBS/SportsRadio 94WIP). Philadelphia (11-5) has clinched the NFC East division title for the second year in a row, becoming the first NFC East team to accomplish the feat since the Eagles dominated the division from 2001-04.

No matter what happens on Sunday, Lincoln Financial Field will serve as the site for the Eagles' Wild Card Round matchup during the weekend of January 10-12. The exact date and time will be announced on Sunday night.

The Eagles will enter the NFC playoffs as either the No. 2 or the No. 3 seed.

What are the playoff scenarios for the Eagles? How will Sunday's results around the league affect them?

Eliminating ties, there is only one scenario for the Eagles to finish as the No. 2 seed ahead of the Bears:

Eagles beat the Commanders AND the Bears lose to the Lions.

Both games kick off at 4:25 PM, so there will be plenty of scoreboard watching around the league. The No. 2 seed will host the Green Bay Packers during Wild Card Weekend, since the Packers are locked in as the No. 7 seed.

If the Eagles lose or the Bears win, then the Eagles will be the No. 3 seed and host the No. 6 seed.

Who can finish as the No. 6 seed?

Thanks to Seattle's win over San Francisco on Saturday night, the Seahawks are the NFC West Champions and the No. 1 seed, meaning that the road to Super Bowl LX in Santa Clara, California goes through Seattle. The Los Angeles Rams are in the driver's seat for the No. 5 seed.

If the Los Angeles Rams beat the visiting Arizona Cardinals, the Rams will be the No. 5 seed and the 49ers will be the No. 6 seed.

If the Rams lose to the Cardinals, Los Angeles will be the No. 6 seed.
