After an impressive 10-1 start to the season, the Philadelphia Eagles have experienced a setback, losing three consecutive games and ceding the NFC's No. 1 seed to the San Francisco 49ers. The team now finds themselves in a fierce battle with the Dallas Cowboys for the top spot in the NFC East.

The Eagles' recent losses, particularly the blowout defeats against the 49ers and Cowboys, have raised doubts about their championship viability. However, the team is determined to bounce back and regain their winning form.

With the regular season winding down, the Eagles have a chance to turn their fortunes around. Their remaining schedule includes two games against the 5-9 New York Giants and a match against the 3-11 Arizona Cardinals. The first game against the Giants is scheduled for Christmas.

In their latest game, the Eagles showcased their offensive prowess with Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith leading the way. The duo's outstanding performance helped Philadelphia build a comfortable lead of 17-3 early in the second quarter, putting them ahead by two scores.

As the Eagles aim to secure their spot in the playoffs, the team will rely heavily on the dynamic playmaking abilities of Hurts and Smith. Hurts has shown great potential as a dual-threat quarterback, using his arm and legs to make impactful plays. Meanwhile, Smith has been a reliable target for Hurts, showcasing his knack for route running and catching ability.

However, to solidify their position in the NFC East and make a statement in the postseason, the Eagles will need to address their recent defensive struggles. The team allowed the 49ers and Cowboys to score in blowout fashion, highlighting the need for improvement on the defensive end.

With the opportunity to face teams with losing records in their final three games, the Eagles have a golden chance to regain momentum and build confidence heading into the playoffs. The team is determined to rectify their recent setbacks and prove that they are still a threat in the NFC.

As the regular season draws to a close, the Philadelphia Eagles have their eyes set on reclaiming the No. 1 seed in the NFC East. With Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith leading the charge, the team fights to regain control and prove their championship viability.
