Posted March 03, 2017 6:00 am
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The Philadelphia Eagles will have the No. 14 pick in the NFL draft in April after a coin flip determined a tiebreaker with the Indianapolis Colts.
The coin toss took place at the NFL combine Friday.
Minnesota, which traded its first-round pick to Philadelphia last year for Sam Bradford, and Indianapolis finished the season with 8-8 records and had matching strength of schedules, the first tiebreaker. A flip was the second tiebreaker, and the coin came up with the Vikings logo - giving the 14th spot in the draft to the Eagles.
Indianapolis will have the No. 15 pick.
The NFL draft will be held April 27-29 in Philadelphia.
