Eagles and Rams Set for NFC Divisional Playoff Rematch in Philadelphia

Philadelphia's dominant run game and Los Angeles' surging defense headline a clash with a conference championship berth on the line.

  • The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in a rematch of their Week 12 game, where the Eagles won 37-20 behind Saquon Barkley's 255-yard rushing performance.
  • Philadelphia's offensive line, considered one of the best in the NFL, will be key in protecting Jalen Hurts and enabling Saquon Barkley against a Rams defense that recorded nine sacks in their Wild Card win over Minnesota.
  • The Rams have improved significantly since their midseason struggles, winning six of their last seven games, including a decisive 27-9 victory over the Vikings in the Wild Card round.
  • Weather conditions in Philadelphia, including potential snow and cold temperatures, could impact the Rams' passing game led by Matthew Stafford, who has historically struggled in such conditions.
  • Both teams bring playoff experience and strong defensive units, with the Eagles excelling in turnovers and the Rams showcasing a young, disruptive pass rush led by rookies Jared Verse and Braden Fiske.
