Despite injuries at quarterback, the Eagles clinched the NFC East after a 41-7 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday. The Birds’ performance, led by Saquon Barkley’s 167 rushing yards, was enough to move up in most power rankings. Here’s where things stand after Week 17 …

Sports Illustrated: Third

The Eagles are in the No. 3 spot in Sports Illustrated’s power rankings, moving up two spots from last week’s No. 5 ranking.

What they’re saying: “I can almost stomach putting Barkley out there on his own but when the record necessitates an all-in performance from a banged-up offensive line and a handful of wide receivers who have spent the season blocking for this guy downfield, is it really worth it?” — Conor Orr

Bleacher Report: Fifth

After a blowout win over their division rival, the Birds remained at the No. 5 spot in Bleacher Report’s power rankings — the same ranking from the site’s Week 17 edition.

What they’re saying: “Philly's latest win serves as another example of how much talent and depth this team accumulated in the offseason. The Eagles struggled last week with Kenny Pickett coming off the bench, but they rebounded nicely against Dallas. This is a team built to navigate the postseason grind." — Kristopher Knox

The Eagles moved up one spot from last week’s No. 6 ranking — behind the No. 4 Minnesota Vikings.

What they’re saying: “The defense bounced back against the Cowboys after a rough showing against the Commanders. Does Saquon Barkley play this week to try to get the rushing record?” — Pete Prisco

The Ringer: Fifth

The Eagles are at the No. 5 spot in The Ringer’s power rankings, the same as the site's previous edition.

What they’re saying:  “Barkley is just 101 yards away from capping off one of the best seasons I’ve ever watched from a running back, and his 167 rushing yards against Dallas on Sunday underscored how easy it's been for him to maximize his talents behind this offensive line.” — Diante Lee

USA Today: Fifth

The Birds moved up to No. 5 in USA Today’s power rankings, one spot above where they were last week.

What they’re saying: “As QB Jalen Hurts continues navigating the concussion protocol for the newly-crowned NFC East champs, let's hope discretion is the better part of valor when it comes to 2,000-yard rusher Saquon Barkley, who's 101 yards shy of the league’s single-season rushing record.” – Nate Davis
