One NFL team having an exceptional year in 2022 is the Philadelphia Eagles.
While few people saw them as contenders with Jalen Hurts as their quarterback, they are showing dominance this season.
With their latest win, the team achieves a first in 2022.
Eagles Now Have A Ticket To The NFL Playoffs After Latest Win
When the Eagles came into their game against the New York Giants on Sunday, all they needed was a win to secure a playoff spot.
After their dominant 48-22 win over the Giants, they now have punched their ticket to the NFL playoffs this season.

They also become the first NFL team to do this in Week 14, while other teams still fight for a playoff spot.
While the win didn’t give them their division, it at least secures a playoff spot for them.
However, if the Eagles want to clinch their division, they must win against the Dallas Cowboys in two weeks.
But even if they lose their game against the Cowboys, they have plenty of other division-clinching scenarios.
At 12-1, the Eagles can clinch the NFC East with wins against their other three remaining opponents.
With those opponents being the Chicago Bears, New Orleans Saints, and the York Giants, the clinching scenario isn’t difficult.
However, if the Cowboys lose any of their other three remaining games, it makes life easier for the Eagles.
While they have plenty of ways to clinch their division, the easiest way is to defeat the Cowboys in Dallas.
If they can do this, they will wrap up the NFC East, just in time for Christmas for their fans.
