The Eagles may not be in the playoffs, but today’s divisional round games certainly impacts Philadelphia. Kansas City travels to Foxborough for the 4:35 game on CBS, while Green Bay travels to Arizona for the 8:15 game on NBC.
If the Chiefs lose today, the Eagles can immediately announce the hiring of Doug Pederson. However, if Kansas City wins, Philadelphia will have to wait until Pederson’s team is eliminated from the playoffs to officially bring him on board.
We’ll open up the comments as the games get going.
8:27 — Martin Frank of the Delaware News Journal tweeted a few Eagles-related nuggets from the Kansas City locker room in Foxborough.
