Who do Eagles play next? Explaining potential next opponent in 2025 NFL playoff bracket image

The Eagles avoided disaster in the wild-card round, staving off a mistake-ridden Packers team despite a sluggish start offensively. Who's up next for Philadelphia?

Nick Sirianni knows his team likely has to play better in the divisional round to keep their Super Bowl hopes alive, but an offense loaded with explosive weapons isn't likely to stay silenced for long.

While the Eagles are still awaiting their opponent, they know they will be at home for at least one more game.

Here's the full breakdown of who the Eagles could face next after winning at home on Sunday.

Who will the Eagles play in the divisional round?

With seven teams making the final NFC playoff bracket, and the No. 1-seeded Lions set to host the lowest remaining seed in the divisional round, it made for many potential scenarios when the weekend began. Now, the picture is a bit clearer for Philadelphia.

No. 5 Vikings vs. No. 2 Eagles

The Vikings would face the Eagles with a win over the Lions on Monday. Because the Commanders are a lower seed than both Minnesota and L.A., Washington is going to Detroit while Monday's winner will make the trip to Philadelphia.

No. 4 Rams vs. No. 2 Eagles

A Rams win over the Vikings on Monday would send Sean McVay's team to a potentially frigid Philadelphia for the divisional round.
