Eagles Underdog Masks Become a Hot Seller On Amazon

“I think that’s certainly something that we have to look at and evaluate this offseason”, Ryan said. This was their fuel throughout the week leading up to this game.

And the message they passed along, Mills said, helped clinch a 15-10 win over the Falcons that sends the Eagles to next week’s NFC Championship Game and onto the doorstep of a Super Bowl appearance. In rushing, Jay Ajayi ran for 54 yards in 15 carries while Nelson Agholor added 20 yards in two rushes.

The Eagles sacked Matt Ryan three times, but even when the Falcons quarterback had time, he was locked in on either Julio Jones or Mohamed Sanu.

As a unit, the Falcons defense couldn’t prevent the Eagles offense from driving down the field. Personally as an Eagles fan, at this point I was nervous. Robert Alford led the team with seven tackles, but a failure to get pressure on Foles late hurt the team when it mattered.

Even worse, inside the Eagles 10-yard line, with plenty of time left and two timeouts in their back pocket, Sark called four-straight pass plays, including a terrible shovel pass – and did not run the ball one time. The underdog Giants beat the Vikings in January 2000, and the Cardinals beat the Eagles in January 2009.

Afterward, Jenkins explained that the Falcons’ personnel package – they used two runnings backs on that fourth-down snap – also hinted at the play call. But on the punt, the ball hits Patrick Robinson as he is blocking a Falcon down the field. He was originally ruled to have scored, but replays confirmed Foles was down at the 1.

With just six minutes to play in the game, the sixth-seeded Atlanta Falcons (11-7) drove down the field to set up a first and goal on the Eagles nine-yard line. “And like I say in this room, we’re not anxious about all that”. “We felt disrespected, sure, but it wouldn’t have mattered unless we had won, which we did”. Minnesota’s offense ranked No. 10 averaging 23.9 points.

Eric Kendricks, who left briefly in the second quarter because of a bloody nose, led the Vikings with 10 tackles. But an alert-Foles scooped the ball up and dove for the end zone. Foles led the Eagles on a long time consuming 14 play 80-yard drive that led to another Elliot field goal.

The Eagles are coming off an impressive game in which they held the Falcons to just ten points while the Vikings are still celebrating after that incredible game winning catch in the last seconds of the game.
