NFL scores live updates Eagles look to keep pace for NFCs No 1

Philadelphia can win the NFC East with a victory in Washington Sunday afternoon.

The top of the NFC is the place to be on Sunday afternoon of Week 16 of the NFL season. The Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are all 12-2 and vying for the No. 1 seed with the playoffs quickly approaching. The Lions are in the driver's seat right now, controlling their own destiny, but any slip-up means the Eagles would have a crack at that all-important first-round bye. Philly will be tested Sunday in Washington against a 9-5 Commanders team that is trying to develop a rhythm down the stretch. They've won their last two games, but looked shaky in a 1-point win over the Saints last week. The Eagles take the NFC East division title with a win, while the Commanders clinch a playoff berth with a win Sunday and losses by the Falcons and Rams or Falcons and Seahawks.

The Lions can hold on to that top spot in the NFC with a win at the Bears in the early window, while Minnesota takes on Seattle in the late window.

Will the Rams be able to handle the cold at MetLife Stadium?

The Rams are playing the Jets at MetLife Stadium, where it is currently 21 degrees and only expected to get one degree warmer while the sun is up. Sauce Gardner thinks the Jets have the advantage over the warm weather Rams.

"I ain't gonna say they're not used to it, but I know in L.A. it's probably 80 degrees right now. So I know they weren't expecting this."
