In one of the most visually appealing Eagles playoffs game ever, the Birds punched their ticket to the NFC Championship Game on Sunday after defeating the Los Angeles Rams, 28-22, for the second time this season. The first time took place in SoFi Stadium back in November, when the Eagles throttled the Rams, 37-20, on Sunday Night Football the week before Thanksgiving. So, the Eagles have won two of two games against the Rams, both away and home, in perfect conditions and snowy conditions. Unfortunately, they’re still 0 – ∞ in hypothetical scenarios.
Here’s how it sounded with Merrill Reese and Mike Quick on 94WIP.
