The Rams (10-7) are heading to Philadelphia for a must-see NFC Divisional Round matchup against the host Eagles (14-3) at what could be a snowy Lincoln Financial Field. The Rams are buoyed by a dominant performance in their 27-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, securing their eighth postseason win under Head Coach Sean McVay.
Lincoln Financial Field has not been an inviting environment for opposing quarterbacks. The Eagles, who stifled Green Bay in their first-round win, boast the second-best pass defense in the NFL, per DVOA — and no player has accumulated more than 212 passing yards against the Eagles in Philadelphia since Week 2.
Here's a look at what's at stake, how to watch the game, and what time it'll kick off:
