Against last year’s Superbowl participant Atlanta Falcon, the Eagles showed a defensively strong performance especially in the second half when they held Matt Ryan at under 50 yards and the Falcons failed to score a point. Back up quarterback Nick Foles was also much improved in the second half and led Philly and Defense into the NFC Championship game.

However, the Eagles also profited from the dubious play-calling of the Falcons, when Atlanta had the chance to win the game touchdown shortly before the end. Following on from the underdog role, Chris Long and Lane Johnson then ran across the playing field wearing dog masks.

At the last second, the Vikings secured their place in the championships against the New Orlean Saints in a dramatic manner, when Stefon Diggs scored a 61-yard touchdown. Against the Eagles, the team around Tight End Kyle Rudolph wants to take the final step into their own stadium,”Bring it home” is the clear mission of the fans.

A defining facet of the NFC Championship game between the Vikings and the Eagles next Sunday is the fact that the regular quarterback franchises will not start on both sides. In the case of the Eagles, Carson Wentz, after outstanding performances in the regular season in the MVP discussion, has a cruciate ligament rupture. His backup Nick Foles needed two games to get in, but especially in the second half of the Divisional Round against the Falcons proved that he could lead the Eagles Offense and minimize his turnovers.

The Vikings behave similarly, although the actual potential starters are already fit again. Actually, the race for the job as a franchise quarterback in Minnesota was regarded as decided, as Teddy Bridgewater regularly showed strong performances. Bridgewater was badly injured, however, and Sam Bradford was called in as an emergency solution last season.

Bradford also showed respectable performances, but was also injured. Once again, the Vikings were dependent on an emergency commitment. Case Keenum, chased out of court by the LA Rams after last season, became the lucky move for Minnesota and coach Mike Zimmer, who will stick to Keenum for the rest of the post-season.

The game between the Vikings and the Eagles is also a fraternal duel between Mychal and Eric Kendricks. Both play the role of linebackers in their respective teams.

The 17-month-old Mychal, with 77 tackles this season, is the second-best in the Eagles, while the younger Eric is even at the top of the club’s internal ranking with 113 tackles. The last duel was won by the big brother with the Eagles at 21:10.
