The 2024 NFL Playoffs will kick off next weekend and the NFC Wild Card round will feature the No. 5 Philadelphia Eagles heading south to face the No. 4 Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Date, time, and network for this matchup is TBD.
Philadelphia (11-6) collapsed down the stretch, losing five of its last six games after starting the season 10-1. Sunday’s loss to the New York Giants was a horrosrhow for the Eagles as Jalen Hurts suffered a hand injury while AJ Brown suffered a knee injury. They quickly waved the white flag and pulled their starters.
Tampa Bay (9-8) shut out the Carolina Panthers 9-0 in its season finale on Sunday, a victory that officially clinched it the NFC South title and a home game in the Wild Card round. After losing six of seven at one point during the year, the Bucs turned things around by winning five of its last six games to claim their third straight division crown.
