The Philadelphia Eagles will begin a journey they hope leads to the Super Bowl in front of their fans against the Green Bay Packers in the wildcard round.
PHILADELPHIA – If an Eagles fan wanted to see the first game between their team and the Packers this season, they had to jump on a plane and fly 10 hours to South America. And the NFL had the nerve to call that an Eagleswill be a home game with the Green Bay Packers coming to Lincoln Financial Field to open the playoffs. The stakes are higher because a loss means your season is over and Eagles fans only have to get in their cars and drive to South Philly for the later afternoon kickoff .
“The home games here are electric,” said the All-Pro running back. “My expectation for my first home game, I don’t really know how much further they can take it. Playing against them on the other side, then playing Monday night, playing Thursday night here, playing Sundays, the way they show up to games shows how amazing our fan base is.
If the Eagles win, they will be right back at the Linc the following week. And if the Lions were to be upset in the divisional round and the Eagles win again, the NFC Championship Game would right back in Philly.
