With their Week 17 win over the Dallas Cowboys, the Philadelphia Eagles, quarterbacked by Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee, have clinched the NFC East. They also clinched at least the 2 seed in the NFC playoffs and stayed in contention for the 1 seed.
The Cowboys won the NFC East in 2023. The last time a team repeated as NFC East division winners was when the Eagles did it in 2004. In each of the last 20 seasons, we've seen the previous year's division champion dethroned.

| 2020 | Commanders |
| 2021 | Cowboys |
| 2022 | Eagles |
| 2023 | Cowboys |
| 2024 | Eagles |
The Eagles need all of the following to happen to earn the 1 seed:
If the Vikings or Lions win Week 17, the Eagles will be locked into the 2 seed and would almost certainly rest starters Week 18 against the Giants.
