"Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season began with a Thursday night contest between the Rams and Seahawks that had major playoff implications. Seattle converted two separate 2-point conversions in an OT win, ascending to the NFC's No. 1 seed before the final two weeks of the season. In the first game on Saturday, the Eagles started slow, then poured it on against the Commanders to win their second straight NFC East crown."
"The Eagles clinch the NFC East, becoming the first team to win the division in back-to-back seasons since 2004. It hasn't been the easiest road for the defending champs, but they've beaten up on lesser opponents over the past couple weeks and appear closer to establishing an identity on offense. A big part of that is a commitment to the ground game with Saquon Barkley, who had 84 rush yards after contact, his most in a game since 2019."
Week 16 began with a Thursday night game between the Rams and Seahawks that carried major playoff implications. Seattle converted two separate 2-point conversions in overtime to beat the Rams and move into the NFC's No. 1 seed with two weeks remaining. On Saturday, the Eagles rebounded from a slow start and overwhelmed the Commanders to secure their second consecutive NFC East title. Philadelphia leaned into the ground game, as Saquon Barkley recorded 84 rush yards after contact, his most since 2019. A Cooper DeJean interception late in the third quarter set up a Barkley touchdown that pushed the lead to double digits. Dallas Goedert's third-quarter score was his 10th receiving touchdown, tying Pete Retzlaff for the Eagles' single-season tight end record.
