Eagles Look To Rebound Against Seahawks
The Eagles head out to Lumen Field to take on the Seattle Seahawks.
The Eagles lost the last two games in blowout fashion, and are looking to rebound this week. The Eagles took several actions this week, including assigning Matt Patricia the defensive playcalling responsibilities, effectively demoting Defensive Coordinator Sean Desai. The Eagles clinched a playoff spot on Sunday amid the shakeup after the right combination of teams lost. Meanwhile, the Seahawks are on a four game losing streak and hoping to stay in the running for a playoff spot themselves.
Kickoff is set for 8:15 PM ET. Live game footage airs on ESPN and ABC with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman on the call.
