Philadelphia Eagles lock in play-off spot after win over Carolina Panthers

The 22-16 win paired with defeat for the Arizona Cardinals was enough to clinch at least a wildcard berth.

The Philadelphia Eagles clinched a play-off berth after a 22-16 win over the Carolina Panthers, coupled with a defeat for the Arizona Cardinals.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts bundled over from a yard to set the Eagles on their way and a touchdown late in the second quarter from Devonta Smith saw NFC East leaders Philadelphia in front 14-10, only for Chuba Hubbard to drive in from a yard out and edge the visitors ahead again.
