Eagles, 49ers, Cowboys can clinch playoff berths this week

Three NFC teams will head into Week 14 with a chance to clinch a spot in the postseason, but all three won’t be able to punch their tickets.

The Eagles will be in Dallas to face the Cowboys on Sunday night and the winner of that game will be able to book a spot in the playoffs along with other results. The Eagles will also be able to clinch a berth with a tie and other results.

Outside of the two NFC East teams, the 49ers also enter this week with an opportunity to sew up a playoff berth. They will need to beat the Seahawks and get other results to break their way in order to ensure a trip to the postseason.
