Philadelphia Eagles Nick Foles throws a pass over Dallas Cowboys De Marcus Lawrence during the first half of an NFL football game in Philadelphia

They nullified the Rams passing game, with star running-back Todd Gurley forced to make the most of his carries, as his ineffectiveness in the receiving game meant the league's highest-scoring team could only manage one touchdown against the Falcons. One was in the playoffs for the first time in 13 years with a first-year coach and second-year quarterback at the helm.

Although it's a paid service, ESPN Watch also grants access to all the Eagles games, but you need an existing TV provider. If the defense can step up throughout the playoffs and hold the opposing teams to a reasonable amount of points and set up Foles the Eagles will win games. Ajayi rushed for 130 yards in a road victory over Atlanta as a member of the Miami Dolphins in October, and the Falcons ranked in the middle of the pack with an opponent yards-per-attempt average of 4.1.

Pederson, hired by the Eagles just a few days later, started his coaching career with a fumble as he stammered through a clumsy explanation for his offense's inertia at such a pivotal time. Thus he can not let the moment get too big for him.

If Philadelphia plans to win this game, the front seven will need to stop the run and keep Matt Ryan under pressure.

The Eagles will have a backup quarterback under center, but will there be any other starters (for either team) out on Saturday? Especially since he has been there before.

With the Eagles, Ajayi has rushed for 408 yards and one touchdown, second best behind running back LeGarrette Blount. However, he was not successful at that time.

In this December 25, 2017, file photo, Philadelphia Eagles' Jay Ajayi (36) runs for a touchdown during the first half of an NFL football game against the Oakland Raiders, in Philadelphia. We went right through like we wanted, and we're fortunate that he's back here today and back into it. It'll be important to get Julio Jones involved like last week, when Jones finished with nine catches for 94 yards and the score that put the game away.

Foles must take care of the football and allow his playmakers on offense to help him. Both went down in the same game against the Redskins and the Eagles still won that game, 34-24. Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers have had a soap opera-like season, but they are 4-0-1 ATS in their last five games at this stage of the playoffs. Despite the loss of Carson Wentz and an underdog status against Atlanta, the Eagles still have the advantage of the friendly confines of the Linc. His calm demeanor and athletic ability alone could make a difference. "The one nice part is I'll see a lot of friendly faces, familiar faces after the game, which is always nice". However, it could just be their year.

Despite being a full participant in practice on Thursday, Ellerbe is listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional playoff game as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury.
