What time do the Eagles play today? Is Philadelphia in the playoffs?

Digital Brief: Dec. 17, 2023 (AM)

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- While the pressure is on for the Philadelphia Eagles to end their losing streak when they take on the Seattle Seahawks Monday night, the Birds are heading into their prime time matchup with a playoff spot already locked in.

Though Seattle (6-7) is the first team with a losing record Philadelphia has faced since Week 8, the game will still be a tough test for the 10-3 Eagles, who have lost seven straight to the Seahawks and haven't won in Seattle since 2008.

Here's what to know heading into Week 15.

When do the Eagles play this week?

Originally, the Eagles and Seahawks were scheduled to play on Sunday, Dec. 17, at 4:25 p.m. ET, but the game was flexed to Monday, Dec. 18, back in November.

Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET.

Roster news for Week 15

Quarterback Jalen Hurts was downgraded to questionable for Monday's game because of an illness, the team confirmed Sunday afternoon. 

On Saturday, head coach Nick Sirianni confirmed cornerback Darius Slay will not play Monday after having arthroscopic knee surgery. It's unclear how long Slay will be out.

On the sidelines, Matt Patricia will replace Sean Desai as the defensive play-caller for the  Eagles, the team said Sunday afternoon. Desai will continue his role as defensive coordinator but is moving to the booth.

What does Philadelphia's playoff picture look like?

Win, lose or draw, the Eagles are already heading to the playoffs, thanks to a combination of losses by both the Atlanta Falcons and the Green Bay Packers and a win by the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

The Eagles have a chance to take the NFC East if they win the rest of their games and end the season with a 14-3 record, no matter what happens with the Dallas Cowboys. Heading into Monday night's game, the Eagles are back in the number one spot in the NFC East, followed by the now 10-4 Cowboys, who lost to the Buffalo Bills Sunday night.

If the Eagles win out and the San Francisco 49ers lose one of their final four games, Philadelphia has home-field advantage in the NFC.
