Eagles 2024 playoff schedule: Game days, start times, opponents and updates

Well, that's the way the cookie crumbles. 18 weeks of NFL action and 17 regular-season Philadelphia Eagles games are in the books. Our Birds finish the campaign with an 11-6 record. That would be gravy under any normal circumstance, but it feels like Philly is backing into the postseason.

In some ways, the postseason feels like a fresh start. We tell ourselves that all that matters is the Birds are in the dance, that there's no room for error now, but the bad news is the errors have been plentiful.

If Philly can right the ship and do so quickly, no one will be more ecstatic than us. If what we saw in December and the final two Eagles games is evidence of what's to come, this thrill ride will certainly end swiftly.

Let's hope better days are ahead.

Here's what to expect in the 2024 NFL Playoffs.

Philly is officially the fifth seed in the National Football Conference. They visit the Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs. The game is scheduled for an 8:15 p.m. EST kickoff,
