The Philadelphia Eagles will host the
New England Patriots Sunday (Monday AEDT) in the NFC vs AFC Live
Championship Game at the Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles, pursuing
their first trip to the Super Bowl since 2004, will be without star
quarterback Carson Wentz, who underwent ACL surgery in Dec. 2017.
The Eagles will be playing their first
NFC Championship Game since the 2008 season. They lost 32-25 to the
Arizona Cardinals during their last trip to the final four stages of the
postseason. But Eagles coach Doug Pederson realises that his young team
could be on the verge of history, even without Wentz.

“It’s about those players in that
dressing room, whether we’re three-point underdogs or three-point
favorites. They really don’t listen to that stuff. Of course, they have
been sort of force-fed for about two weeks now, three weeks now, the
information, and they just stick together. They just stick together and
find a way and it’s been that way all season,” Pederson said on the eve
of the game.
In Wentz’ absence, the Eagles will
continue to start reserve quarterback Nick Foles, who made a lot of
believers during Philadelphia’s 15-10 victory over Atlanta Falcons in
the NFL Divisional playoffs. Foles completed 23 of 30 passes for 246
yards and a 100.1 passer rating as he led Philadelphia to the conference
title game.
“I am very humbled to win this game and
to be a part of this team. That’s what it’s always been about. I know
there was a lot of people against us this last week. Just answering
questions, and just hearing about it… The biggest thing in our locker
room is we believe in one another. Everyone believes, and that was shown
on display. The city of Philadelphia obviously believes because they
were here and loud. So we are grateful for that. Honestly, it’s
unbelievable to win this game and we are not finished,” said Foles.
The winner of the NFL Championship game
will face either the New England Patriots or the Jacksonville Jaguars at
Super Bowl 52 on Feb. 4. Since this year’s NFL championship game will
be held at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, odds makers
expect the Vikings to make their first Super Bowl game since 1976.

The Vikings (14-3) advanced following a
thrilling 29-24 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Stefon Diggs hauled
in a 61-yard touchdown catch from quarterback Case Keenum on the final
play of the game Sunday.
Like the Eagles, Minnesota has yet to win a Super Bowl. The Vikings have dropped five consecutive NFC Championship games.
Philadelphia will enter Sunday’s game as an underdog, especially with quarterback Carson Wentz out with a torn ACL.
“It’s about those players in that
dressing room, whether we’re three-point underdogs or three-point
favorites. They really don’t listen to that stuff,” Eagles coach Doug
Pederson said. “Of course, they have been sort of force-fed for about
two weeks now, three weeks now, the information, and they just stick
together. They just stick together and find a way and it’s been that way
all season.”
Backup quarterback Nick Foles did an
admirable job against the Falcons, completing 23 of 30 passes for 246
yards and a 100.1 passer rating. In two career playoff games with the
Eagles — the other coming in a 26-24 loss to the Saints in 2014 — Foles
is 46 of 63 for 441 yards, two touchdowns, no interceptions and a 102.7
passer rating.
“I am very humbled to win this game and
to be a part of this team,” Foles said. “That’s what it’s always been
about. I know there was a lot of people against us this last week. Just
answering questions, and just hearing about it.
“… The biggest thing in our locker room
is we believe in one another. Everyone believes, and that was shown on
display. The city of Philadelphia obviously believes because they were
here and loud. So we are grateful for that. Honestly, it’s unbelievable
to win this game and we are not finished.”
The Vikings are in search of their first trip to the Super Bowl since the 1976 season — Super Bowl XI.
During the regular season, the Vikings’
defense ranked first in points allowed per game (15.8) and yards given
up per game (275.9). Defensive end Everson Griffen was tied for fourth
in the league with a career-best 13 sacks this season.
While the Vikings likely have seen video of Diggs’ amazing catch a million times, another game awaits in the NFC Championship.
“We should celebrate this and enjoy
this,” tight end Kyle Rudolph told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. “It’s
hard to win playoff games. There’s a lot of guys in this locker room,
including myself, this is our first playoff win. But it’s just the
beginning. We’ve still got a lot of work to do.
“It’d be a shame to let something like that go to waste by us not showing up.”
The incredible final play will be etched in viewers’ minds forever.
“I don’t think it’s still really sunk in
as far as like what something like that’s going to be,” guard Jeremiah
Sirles told ESPN.com. “That’s the stuff that in 20 years, you turn on
NFL Films and it’s going to be the 2018 NFL Classic. Something like that
that you can’t take away from any player that’s in this room right now.
We’ll always be a part of something that happened that was super
special like that.”
A win over the Eagles would not only
clinch a trip to the Super Bowl, but it would also be the Vikings’ first
playoff victory against Philadelphia in four tries. The last time the
teams met was in the 2008 wild-card round.
The Vikings are 0-4 all-time in the
Super Bowl. In order to get a fifth shot, they’ll have to travel to a
hostile environment and knock out the No. 1 seed.
“They’re a pretty resilient bunch,”
Vikings coach Mike Zimmer told ESPN.com. “They’re pretty determined in
what they’re always trying to get done. They’re always trying to get
better. They’re a good group of guys that work really hard.”
