Written Here  And so, there were three.  No, the Philadelphia
Eagles haven't been mathematically eliminated from playoff
contention yet. However, a loss on Sunday drops them to 3-9, and
a win for the New York Giants brings them to 8-4, rendering the
Eagles unable to claim the NFC East title.  With a plethora of
5-6's and 6-5's ahead of them, don't expect Philly to be
contending for a wild card spot either.  Instead, the East is a
Three Horse Race, focused on the 7-4 New York Giants, and the
Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys, both 5-6.  And it turns
out, all four teams are playing each other, as they will again
in Week 17.  The Giants need a win to extend their division lead
over the Redskins, while perhaps hoping the Eagles can knock
Dallas back a peg. With 4 games left, the Giants would have a
commanding 3 game lead.
