Will we get another thriller between the Packers and Eagles in the playoffs?
The NFC finally gets its portion of the 2025 NFL Playoffs underway. For the second year in a row, the Green Bay Packers are the No. 7 seed looking to spring a surprise against the NFC East champion. Last year they shocked the No. 2 seed Dallas Cowboys, and they’re looking for revenge against the No. 2 seed Philadelphia Eagles.
Week 1 saw the Eagles win an exciting game over the Packers in Brazil. The rematch is in Philadelphia, where in postseasons past we’ve seen 4th and 26 help the Eagles knock the Packers out, while Michael Vick threw a dramatic late-game interception that resulted in the Packers winning on their way to the Super Bowl.
The theme thus far in the playoffs has been domination in the trenches. The Houston Texans whipped the Los Angeles Chargers offensive line, while the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens manhandled their respective opponents with massive performances on the ground and dominant offensive line blocking upfront. We’ve got the Packers and Eagles OLs coming up, plus elite running backs in Josh Jacobs and Saquon Barkley. Lest we forget that the Eagles defensive line is among the best in the business.
I went this whole article without mentioning Jalen Hurts or Jordan Love. I’m stoked for this game, and so should you!
FOX has the kickoff at 1:30 pm PT.
