By beating Washington on Thursday Night Football, the Dallas Cowboys prolonged the battle in the NFC East, preventing the Eagles from clinching the division.
Philadelphia will clinch the division with any win for the remainder of the season, and the Eagles have some easy matchups on the horizon with the New York Giants and Oakland Raiders still on the schedule, not to mention a rematch with Dallas in Week 17. But they would much prefer to get the win against the Seahawks, perhaps the toughest team remaining on their schedule.
Seattle is 7-4, coming off a win over the rival San Francisco 49ers. The Seahawks still play the Jacksonville Jaguars as well as rivals in the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals. It’s been an up-and-down season for the Seahawks, with many questioning whether or not the team is starting to decline.
Injuries, of course, have been a huge factor, with big names like Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, and Cliff Avril dealing with significant injuries.
Wentz has been excellent for the Eagles this season, completing 60.2 percent of his passes for 2,657 yards, 28 touchdowns, and just five interceptions. He’s outplayed Wilson in a few key areas, though the Seahawks’ quarterback has thrown for more yards — 3,029 — and has completed 62.3 percent of his passes. He’s also thrown eight interceptions against 23 touchdowns.

Eagles vs. Seahawks news:
- The Seahawks are trying to avoid three consecutive losses at home, which is pretty ridiculous given their historic dominance at CenturyLink Field.
- Wentz has been a popular pick in early discussions about this season’s MVP. He’s outplayed Wilson by a fair margin, but could Wilson put himself in that conversation with a win over the Eagles?
- Aside from the guys on injured reserve, the Seahawks appear to be getting healthier going into their Sunday matchup. The Eagles are much, much healthier, however, with only one player listed on the final injury report.
- Eagles running back LeGarrette Blount isn’t worried about the Seattle defense, especially one that is without some of its best players. Blount said that Seattle’s defense is “not anything special.”
- The Eagles came close to clinching the NFC East title, but Washington choked and had nothing to offer the Cowboys, keeping the race alive — for now.
