NFL scores, live updates: Jalen Hurts gets concussion evaluation as Eagles look to keep pace with NFC’s No. 1 seed

On By Littum

The top of the NFC is the place to be on Sunday afternoon in Week 16 of the NFL season. The Philadelphia Eagles, Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings are all 12-2 and fighting for the No. 1 seed. 1 as the playoffs approach. The Lions are in the driver’s seat right now, controlling their own destiny, but any drop means the Eagles would have a crack at the all-important first-round bye. Philly, which has already seen starting QB Jalen Hurts go to the locker room to be evaluated for a concussion, will be tested Sunday in Washington against a 9-5 Commanders team trying to develop a rhythm down the stretch. They have won their last two games but then rocked out in a 1 point win over Saints last week. The Eagles clinch the NFC East division title with a win, while the Commanders clinch a playoff spot with a win Sunday and loss by the Falcons and Rams or Falcons and Seahawks.

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

(no bye this week)
