Here’s everything you need to know about the Eagles’ divisional round matchup against the Rams.
The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Divisional Round of the 2025 NFL playoffs on Sunday afternoon, in what might end up being a snow game.
The weather could be a big factor in this matchup, with the heaviest snowfall — which could accumulate several inches — expected during the game. Eagles’ running back Saquon Barkley told reporters earlier in the week that he would definitely be calling LeSean McCoy to talk about playing and dominating in the snow.
There’s been a lot of chatter this week about how the Los Angeles team will fair in freezing, snowy conditions, but Matthew Stafford was a QB in the NFC North for 12 seasons, so it’s not something that’s completely unfamiliar for him. But, the advantage is certainly with the home team who has been preparing in this weather for weeks — Eagles players even joked around in the snow a bit ahead of the Packers game.
The Eagles offense was able to make it out of their Wild Card game fairly unscathed, but the defense did suffer a big blow with the loss of linebacker Nakobe Dean. There’s plenty of other Dawgs who can step up with Dean sidelined, but his teammates have been clear that his absence will be felt. Zack Baun will wear the green dot helmet on Sunday in his place, just as he did in the second half against Green Bay, and the All-Pro is ready for the challenge.
To get a second playoff game at home in Philly is huge for the Eagles. There are few other environments like Lincoln Financial Field, and then you add playoff vibes, in the snow, and that place will definitely give Jalen Hurts and Co. a true home field advantage. If Eagles fans annoyed Rams rookie Jared Verse earlier in the season in L.A., he’ll be in for the most annoying afternoon of his life in this Divisional Round game.
