With the Dallas Cowboys opting to rest most of their starting players ahead of the playoffs, the Eagles were able to take control of the game in the second half and claim a win in their final game of the 2016 season by a score of 27-13 over the Cowboys on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

The game is meaningless with the Cowboys already comfortably in the top seed in the NFC and the Eagles headed for the offseason once the 60 minutes of play on Sunday are over. Regardless, there is still a game to play to round out the schedule of 16. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

While Darren Sproles continues to impress as the Eagles combination running back/receiver and punt return specialist, the 33-year-old is starting to see his career wind down. “I feel like [after 2017] it will be time,” Sproles said.

The Eagles have been eliminated from the playoffs for a few weeks and now play to give the younger talent more experience. Obvious talent like Carson Wentz continues to improve with each game in his rookie season. The big question is what do the Eagles need to be a playoff contender?

The 116th overall meeting between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys will take place at Lincoln Financial Field Sunday at 1 p.m. Dallas holds the series lead by 15 wins, leaving the Eagles with a series record of 50-65.

Schwartz has ultimately failed to produce consistent results in his first year as the Eagles’ defensive coordinator. He might have passed the first phase of the test this season, but there were two other parts of the examination. The good news for him is that he has another shot at this test next season, but there might not be another chance after that.

Jason Peters has been a special player for the Eagles, but how does his resume stack up against offensive tackles enshrined in the Hall of Fame?

For the third consecutive season, Week 17 will provide no meaning for the Eagles. Even though the Cowboys will be headed to the playoffs, they have nothing at stake this week either. It will be a bonafide preseason-type atmosphere at Lincoln Financial Field on New Year’s Day.

The real work for the Eagles comes after Sunday’s game and a few weeks down the road when the NFL offseason begins following the Super Bowl. And it’s going to need to be a big one for the Birds.

The Philadelphia Eagles may have been a playoff team in 2016 with LeSean McCoy still on their team.

For the Philadelphia Eagles, there is no player more important to their success on the defensive side than Malcolm Jenkins, the eighth-year man out of The Ohio State University. And Thursday night, during the team’s win over the New York Giants, that was never more apparent.

The New York Giants had a chance to clinch a playoff spot with a win, but the Eagles wouldn’t allow it to happen on their home turf, even if there was a little luck involved at the end. Here are this week’s grades in our report card.

The Eagles and Giants went back and forth for much of the 60 minutes on Thursday night at Lincoln Financial Field, but ultimately, mistakes by the Giants allowed the Eagles to finally get back into the win column. A 24-19 victory snapped a five-game losing streak for the Eagles.

The NFL announced the Pro Bowl rosters on Tuesday. Eagles defensive lineman Fletcher Cox and offensive lineman Jason Peters are the two players that will participate in the Pro Bowl, set for Jan. 29 in Orlando.

On their way to nine losses, the Eagles suffered defeats by margins of one point twice, five points twice, six points, seven points, 11 points, 14 points and 18 points. In the box score, these are close losses. And in reality, these are close losses. But don’t look at them with a sense that the Eagles are close.

The Eagles were an extra point away from overtime when Doug Pederson decided to attempt a two point conversion. The numbers and logic say he was right to do so.

It’s a game that will be defined by the last play more than anything, a failed two-point conversion for the win for the Eagles, but there were a lot of layers to this game. Here are this week’s grades in our report card.

Carson Wentz led the Eagles on a potential game-tying drive that had them down one facing a two-point conversion. But the conversion failed, sending the Eagles to their fifth straight loss to the Ravens, 27-26, at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to retain Doug Pederson for his second season, per a report.

Four straight losses have the Eagles season continuing in a downward spiral, but the end is near with three games left on the season. The Eagles have a particularly busy week this week, starting on Sunday with their final road matchup of the season against the Baltimore Ravens.

There hasn’t been any positive news for the Eagles in the past 11 weeks. The team is 2-8 since the bye week and Carson Wentz has lost his game that everyone compared to Peyton Manning. So, who has been the biggest surprise this season? It is Wentz’s top target of late, tight end Trey Burton.
