Two teams looking to keep their winning streaks alive will collide this Sunday when the Philadelphia Eagles host the Arizona Cardinals at the Lincoln Financial Field for Week 15 action. 

The Eagles, who faced a number of setbacks this 2015 National Football League (NFL) regular season, have won two consecutive times and are aiming to make it three in a row versus Arizona. 

Philadelphia is in a triple tie with the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants in the National Football Conference (NFC) East with a 6–7 record. 

The Eagles will try to separate themselves from the two this Sunday versus the Cardinals, with a win also strengthening their playoff chances. 

Last Sunday, the Eagles defeated the Buffalo Bills in a tight contest and were led by quarterback Sam Bradford, running back Darren Sproles, and placekicker Caleb Sturgis. 

Bradford finished the game completing 23-of-38 passes for 247 yards and one touchdown, also throwing one interception and was sacked once. 

Sproles opened the scoring for Philadelphia with a touchdown and led the team's rushing with seven carries for 41 yards.  

Meanwhile, Sturgis was 3-of-3 with his field goals including the crucial one in the fourth quarter that gave them a 23–20 lead, which was also the final score. 

The Cardinals' winning streak on the other hand is much longer than the Eagles and is now at seven games, dating back in October. 

Arizona's last defeat was suffered in Week 6 (Oct. 18) against the Pittsburgh Steelers, which they lost on the road 25–13. 

Like the Eagles' previous win, the Cardinals also edged the Minnesota Vikings with a field goal to seal a 23–20 victory on Dec. 10, to capture their seventh consecutive win. 

The Cardinals are leading the NFC West with an 11–2 record and are aiming to improve that when they hit the road versus Philadelphia. 

The Week 15 matchup between the Eagles and Cardinals will be on Sunday, Dec. 20, at 8:30 p.m. EST.
