The Philadelphia Eagles controlled the NFC Playoffs for several weeks and had a nice handle on the top seed. 

That's no longer the case anymore. 

They were already on thin ice when they lost to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 13, but they really blew it with by losing to the Dallas Cowboys this past Sunday. 

Here's a look at the updated NFC playoff picture after wrapping up Week 14:

Eagles Can Still Win NFC East

The Eagles can still win the NFC East, but they must win their final four games. 

The Eagles finish the season facing Seattle on the road, New York Giants at home, Arizona at home and the Giants on the road.

Those are all winnable games. Even if the Eagles and Cowboys both win out, the Eagles will still win the NFC East because the tiebreaker would come down to the best win percentage in the NFC. The Eagles would have the best percentage by winning their final matchups. 

If the Eagles don't win NFC East, then they will be road favorites over the NFC South winner in the wild card round.

As for the top seed, well that gets trickier because they are currently tied with the Niners and Cowboys. Now the Eagles have to hope those two teams finish with some losses while they win all their games.
