Eagles loss keeps the Lions from clinching a playoff berth

USA Today

All the Detroit Lions needed to clinch their first playoff berth since the 2016 season was for the Philadelphia Eagles to defeat the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Alas, the champagne remains corked.

Backup QB Drew Lock led a fourth-quarter comeback, making two clutch throws in the final minute to guide the Seahawks to a stunning 20-17 win over the Eagles. Seattle scored the final 10 points, all in the final 10 minutes.

The win lifted Seattle to 7-7, preventing Detroit from mathematically clinching a playoff spot. The Lions are 10-4, the same record as the fading Eagles. Philadelphia has lost three games in a row after starting 10-1.
