Okay, Eagles fans.
Time for a downer.
As in ESPN’s latest projection for the Eagles:
8-7-1 in the regular season, a 5-seed in the playoffs and a wild card knockout:
(5) Rams 30, (4) Eagles 26:
It’s the old 2016 NFL draft postseason battle.
And yes, Carson Wentz is healthy this January. But perhaps because the Eagles lacked the magic of Foles or perhaps because the Rams are just sizzling after their second-half run, Sean McVay gets the best of Doug Pederson in a closely contested matchup.
