Five spots are all set in the AFC, while the NFC has locked down four postseason berths. Here are the playoff-clinching scenarios for this weekend.

The Philadelphia Eagles' hopes for the No. 1 seed took a massive hit after Sunday's loss to the Washington Commanders, a game that would have wrapped up the NFC East and the No. 2 seed in the conference.

The NFL's Christmas doubleheader carries significant postseason implications, none more so than the Chiefs' win over the Steelers.

Even after being eliminated from playoff contention in Week 16, the Dallas Cowboys (7-8) demonstrated their commitment to finishing the season on a high note by first defeating the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-24 on Sunday Night Football.

On Sunday afternoon, the Eagles (12-3) will look to wrap up the NFC East at home against the biggest rival, the Dallas Cowboys (7-8). The game will be played at Lincoln Financial at 1:00 PM EST after getting flexed out of the late afternoon spot for the Minnesota Vikings (13-2) colossal matchup against the Green Bay Packers (11-4).
