Eagles can clinch the NFC East by beating the Commanders, but home field matters more to them

Associated Press  

ASHBURN, Va. — Saquon Barkley has yet to win a division title since entering the NFL and thinks it would be cool if he and the Philadelphia Eagles could accomplish that. It’s not a myth about the energy and vibe you have playing at home.” Riding a franchise-record 10-game winning streak into their game Sunday at the Washington Commanders, Barkley and the Eagles can clinch the NFC East and one of the conference’s top two seeds if they make it 11 wins in a row. “That’s big time if we get home-field advantage.” The Eagles, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are all 12-2 going into Week 16, and one of them will get a first-round bye. “It’s a great feeling to know what we’re fighting for.” Making the playoffs in quarterback Jayden Daniels’ rookie season and the first year with general manager Adam Peters and coach Dan Quinn and their staffs in charge would be a major step forward in the rebuilding process. Barkley said he feels “pretty good” as he resumes his chase of Eric Dickerson’s single-season rushing record of 2,105 yards for the Rams in 1984.
