It wasn't easy, but the Philadelphia Eagles wrapped up the No. 1 seed in the NFC by beating the Oakland Raiders 19-10 on Christmas night.

This was another incredibly frustrating day for the Oakland offense. Derek Carr threw for just 140 yards and was picked off twice. He failed to connect on a single pass to the struggling Michael Crabtree, and though he did push Amari Cooper past his Projected Fantasy Points total thanks to a 63-yard touchdown, it's hard to say that Cooper was impactful.

The bigger storyline came from the Philadelphia offense. Nick Foles did what he had to do to get the team in a position for the game-winning field goal with just 0:22 to play, but he was largely nowhere near good enough to win the NFC.

Zach Ertz had a big game with nine receptions for 81 yards to beat his PFP total while Jay Ajayi continued his dominance of the Philly backfield by running for 52 yards and catching a touchdown pass out of the backfield.

Still, there were only a select few players who beat their PFP totals in this game, making this a frustrating end to the holiday week for Dober Fantasy players.
