After an up-and-down season, the Philadelphia Eagles (11-6) are again NFC East champions and are the only team in the division that finished above .500. The Dallas Cowboys (7-9-1), Washington Commanders, and New York Giants (4-13) will all now begin their offseason as they look to retool for 2026. With the 2025 NFL regular season now behind us, let’s dig into the Week 18 NFC East Takeaways.
Wrap-Up for Week 18 in the NFC East
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles coasted on Sunday
The Philadelphia Eagles had a chance to finish as the No. 2 seed in the NFC, but they chose to rest their starters on Sunday and lost to the Washington Commanders by a score of 24-17. The Eagles will now host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon in what should be a tough home game for the defending champs.
The Eagles had a season of streaks
The Eagles had a strange season that included two win streaks of four games and one win streak of three games, while also having a losing streak of three games and two stretches with back-to-back losses. While the Eagles don’t look dominant coming into the playoffs, there isn’t really one standout team in the NFC, so they still have a decent chance to get back to the Super Bowl.
