Even after losing each of the last three weeks to fall four games below .500, the Philadelphia Eagles somehow still have a legitimate shot to win the NFC East.
The Eagles (3-7-1) trail the New York Giants and Washington by half a game in the division as they head to Green Bay for a Sunday matchup with the NFC North-leading Packers (8-3).
While the Eagles are fighting for their playoff lives, the Packers are breezing toward a second straight division title. They own a three-game lead over Chicago and Minnesota in the NFC North and are coming off a 41-25 victory over the Bears.
Philadelphia still has cause for optimism. The Eagles won 34-27 at Green Bay last year, which marked the Packers' only home loss during a season in which they went 13-3 and reached the NFC championship game.
Quarterback Carson Wentz is struggling behind an offensive line that has gone through several different combinations this season. Even so, the Eagles still have a reliable defense and plenty of incentive.
The Eagles acquired three-time Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay to shut down the opposition's No. 1 receiver. In a 23-17 loss to Seattle, Slay allowed DK Metcalf 10 catches for 177 yards.
Davonte Adams has caught a touchdown pass in six straight games. He's tied for second in the NFL with 11 touchdown catches this season.
Green Bay has gone 19-3 in quarterback Aaron Rodgers' 22 December home starts. Rodgers has a 111.9 passer rating in December home games.
The Packers went 5-0 in December last year and outscored opponents by an average of 9.4 points.
Travis Fulgham was released by the Packers in August but has found a home in Philadelphia, where he now has 33 catches for a team-high 467 yards and four touchdowns.
