Eagles-Giants: Game time, channel, how to watch and stream Week 18

Entering the final game of the regular season against the New York Giants, the Eagles’ playoff math remains as simple as it did two weeks ago: a win and the Birds clinch everything.

The Eagles have lost two straight with starting quarterback Jalen Hurts on the sideline nursing an injured shoulder. Fortunately, Hurts is expected to return on Sunday, NFL sources told The Inquirer. He’ll be joined by safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson and defensive end Robert Quinn, who were both activated off injured reserve.

With a win, the Eagles would clinch the NFC East, a first-round bye, and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. The last time the Birds had home-field advantage was in 2017, which ended with the Eagles defeating the Patriots in Super Bowl LII.

If the Eagles lose, they can still win the NFC East if the Dallas Cowboys lose to the Washington Commanders on Sunday. That game is also scheduled for 4:25 p.m. and will air on Fox, so fans in Philadelphia will be able to flip back and forth between the two.

The San Francisco 49ers could also still steal the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed, but would need a win against the Arizona Cardinals paired with an Eagles loss.

The Giants come into Sunday’s game at the Linc with nothing to play for. They are locked into the NFC playoffs as the No. 6 seed, and can’t move up or down, regardless of what happens tonight. They’ll end up playing the No. 3 seed next weekend, which will either be the Minnesota Vikings or the San Francisco 49ers.
