Philadelphia Eagles: 4 teams that can help during Week 14 for 2019 NFC playoff race
By Dan Parzych
Despite the Philadelphia Eagles coming off a rough loss to the Miami Dolphins, there are a few teams that can help their playoff chances in Week 14.
With only four games to go, the Philadelphia Eagles realize the importance of winning every game possible the rest of the way while receiving some help from a few other teams in the process.
At the moment, the Eagles are on the outside looking in of the playoffs, as they currently trail the Dallas Cowboys by a full game in the NFC East standings along with the Minnesota Vikings by three games for the final Wild Card spot.
Basically, since earning one of the Wild Card spots would take a miracle with only four games remaining, the best chance for Philadelphia to earn a trip to the playoffs will come from winning the NFC East title.
But since crazier things have taken place in the NFL over the years, it only seems fair to enter Week 14 with the mindset that Philadelphia can somehow earn one of the Wild Card seeds as well, meaning all options deserve consideration.
After watching the Eagles struggle the way they did against the Miami Dolphins, plenty of football fans will rightfully make the case that Philadelphia deserves to watch the playoffs from home instead of a chance to compete for the Lombardi Trophy.
However, all the Eagles need to do is punch their ticket into the postseason, and just go from there since all they need to do is get hot at the right moment come January when it matters the most.
As for the teams that could help Philadelphia in Week 14 when it comes to putting them in better shape for a playoff run, well here are four that immediately come to mind, starting off with the Indianapolis Colts.
