The Philadelphia Eagles wrap up the 2023 regular season with an 11-6 record after dropping their Week 18 matchup to the New York Giants on Sunday, 27-10. 

They finish the year ranked second in the NFC East and lock in the No. 5 seed heading into Wildcard Weekend of Round 1 of the NFL Playoffs. 

That means they'll hit the road to Florida where they'll take on No. 4 seed Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium next week. 

With the Dallas Cowboys winning the NFC East after beating the Washington Commanders 38-10, the Eagles become a part of history in the worst way. 

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the NFC East division has now gone 19 straight years without a repeat champion, marking the longest streak for any division in NFL history.

After a 10-1 start, nobody could have predicted that the Eagles would drop five of their final six games. 

Now, all eyes will be on the Birds as they try to get past Round 1 of the NFL Playoffs while questions loom around Nick Sirianni's future in Philadelphia.
