The Philadelphia Eagles, reigning Super Bowl champions, are set to kick off their playoff journey tonight in the wild card round.
As the third seed, the Eagles will feature key players who were given a rest following their coach, Nick Sirianni’s decision, not to start them in last weekend’s regular-season finale. The team heads into this matchup coming off a loss in Week 18.
Their rivals are the San Francisco 49ers, who also made use of their starter. However, they, too, faced a setback. A critical game in Week 18 against Seattle ultimately cost them the top seed in the NFC, preventing them from securing an initial bye.
