The Eagles clinched the NFC East by beating the Los Angeles Rams, 43-35 on Sunday at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

They also took over first place in the race for playoff seeding and home field advantage thanks to the Minnesota Vikings' 31-24 loss at the Carolina Panthers.

But the Eagles may have lost Carson Wentz for some time due to a knee injury he suffered late in the third quarter. Nick Foles finished the game in his place.
