The No. 2 seed Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up for a divisional round showdown with the No. 4 seed Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, with a trip to the NFC

The Eagles and Rams faced off in Week 12, and Saquon Barkley got the best of the Rams defense by rushing for 255 yards and two touchdowns. While it was a home game for the Rams, Verse remembers Eagles fans' harsh words for him before the game.
The Eagles faced the Rams on Nov. 24 in Los Angeles, winning 37-20. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley rushed for a franchise record 255 yards in that game. The Eagles and Rams last met in the playoffs in the NFC Championship game in Jan. 2002. The Rams, then based in St. Louis, won 29-24.
The Eagles famously hosted the Detroit Lions in 2013 in a game dubbed the “Snow Bowl,” with whiteout conditions throughout regulation. LeSean McCoy ran 217 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-20 victory.
