PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Philadelphia Eagles have secured a spot in the playoffs, thanks to the San Francisco 49ers' win over the Arizona Cardinals Sunday.

This will be the Birds' third straight playoff appearance.

"Just the first step," the team account posted on X Sunday evening.

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.

The Eagles will play the Seahawks in Seattle Monday at 8:15 p.m. ET. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has been downgraded to questionable for that game because of sickness.
