The Philadelphia Eagles have reached the NFL playoffs for the third consecutive season. Nick Sirianni's team finished second in the NFC East in the 2023 regular season with an 11-6 record. They will now face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the playoffs.

Notably, the Eagles were on course to finish as the top seed in the NFC. However, a rather underwhelming finish to the regular season saw Philadelphia lose the divisional title to the Dallas Cowboys.

The Eagles eventually secured the No. 5 seed in the NFC and will square off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the NFL playoffs.

The Buccaneers ended the regular season as NFC South champions. Todd Bowles' side beat the Carolina Panthers 9-0 in Week 18 to clinch the division.

Tampa Bay had the same 9-8 record as the New Orleans Saints. The two teams also had the same record (3-2) in division matchups. However, the Buccaneers owned the tiebreaker on winning percentage in common games and Tampa Bay managed to secure the No. 4 seed in the NFC.

When is the 2024 Super Bowl?

The 2024 Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, Feb. 11, at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada.

The Philadelphia Eagles made it to the Super Bowl last year but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs at the final hurdle. It's safe to say that Jalen Hurts and co. will be aiming to make another deep run in the postseason this time and emerge as winners of the Lombardi Trophy.

Jalen Hurts and the team has struggled this season. They started the year on a high note, going 10-1, and then succumbed to a 1-5 record in the final six games of the season. The defense has been bad. There have been reports of locker room frustration among players. The Eagles look like they have lost the momentum.

But if there's one player who can keep the team still and get the job done, it is Jalen Hurts. The Eagles will look to progress one step at a time. And their first challenge will be taking on Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers in Tampa in the Wild Card round.
