This Monday night’s game was originally set to feature a matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots, but after the first-ever Monday night flex, the matchup will instead be between two NFC teams looking to get back to their winning ways.<\/p>\n
The Philadelphia Eagles (10-3) will visit the Seattle Seahawks (6-7) to conclude Week 15, with both clubs in search of a win after struggling in recent weeks.<\/p>\n
For the Seahawks, it is essentially a must-win week, as four-straight losses have dropped Seattle from the No. 5 seed in the NFC to the No. 9 spot, currently outside of the postseason picture. With a backlog of teams sitting at 7-6 or 6-7 going into this weekend, there’s still a lot to play for, but a loss to the Eagles would be a major setback as the Seahawks hope to keep their playoff hopes alive.<\/p>\n
The Eagles are in a much safer playoff position, but have also dropped from their previous standing at the top of the NFC. Blowout losses to the 49ers and Cowboys in back-to-back weeks sent Philadelphia down from the No. 1 seed to a wild-card positioning. They can officially clinch a spot in the postseason with a win on Monday (or through one of a variety of outcomes from earlier in the weekend), but a win would more importantly get the team back on track in their quest to return to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n
Which team will be able to end its losing streak and further its efforts towards a postseason appearance in January?<\/p>\n
Here are four things to watch for when the Eagles visit the Seahawks on Monday night:<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n
