Eagles, Jordan Mailata and NFL
The road to Super Bowl LIX continued this weekend, as eight NFL teams turned into four during the Divisional Round. The Chiefs machine kept on rolling, a rookie sensation continued his historic run, and fans were treated to an MVP contender clash that left no one dissapointed.
Following a cold matchup to kick off the NFL Playoffs, Eagles OL Jordan Mailata gave his thoughts on the weather advantage vs. the Rams.
The Eagles have the best offensive tackle tandem in the NFL with Mailata and Lane Johnson, who combined to give up 24 total pressures all season. To put that into perspective, Alaric Jackson allowed 24 pressures alone this year, which is still an impressive number for a starting left tackle.
Jared Verse notched two sacks on Sunday, but the Rams standout was booed not for his play but his words after ripping Eagles fans.
That's the reality for Sunday afternoon when the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams face off in the divisional round of the 2025 playoffs. While many Eagle players have experienced what kind of help the cold (and snow) can bring to the team - especially at home - not everyone is thrilled with that reality.
On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles punched their ticket to the NFC championship game with a 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. Led by a dominant performance from All-Pro running back Saquon Barkley and a clutch defensive play from Jalen Carter late in the game, Nick Sirianni stands one win away from another Super Bowl appearance.
Playoff games like Sunday's divisional round battle vs. the Rams hinge heavily on variability. So filtering a team’s strengths through the circumstances they can’t change is the way to win
When it came to the fourth quarter, the Eagles had to kick field goals and extra points with a lot of snow on the ground, making it a tough job for not only kicker Jake Elliott, but punter Braden Mann.
With the stakes high and the snowfall heavy, Saquon Barkley gave the Eagles a playoff performance for the ages.
The Florida Gators have some almighty representation in the NFL playoff picture heading into Championship Weekend. Of the four remaining teams, at least one pair of shoes is filled by a Florida Gator.
The Eagles and Rams are just hours away from an intriguing and explosive divisional-round matchup with a team looking to duplicate the Commanders’ Saturday night upset. Washington raised the stakes, and Sunday’s winner will play host to the NFC Championship game next weekend.
