The Vikings have kindred spirits in the Eagles, whom they will play Sunday for the right to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. He signed a one-year contract worth $2 million with the Vikings, where he was expected to backup Sam Bradford for at least part of the season, unless and until the team's highly-drafted quarterback, Teddy Bridgewater, returned from injury. The victor of the Case Keenum-Nick Foles matchup in Philadelphia will have a shot at winning it all February 4 at U.S. Bank Stadium.
"No, I wasn't aware of a flow chart, but I know this is what all of you guys predicted back in the day, a Foles versus Keenum NFC Championship", Keenum quipped from the podium.
But first, there's the matter of playing an NFC Championship Game between two old friends who spent 2015 with the St. Louis Rams.
Even though the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings had claimed the top two seeds going into the playoffs, there was still some speculation as to whether their quarterbacks could lead them to the promised land. This past weekend, for what it's worth, the Eagles defense performed better their average numbers, giving up 281 yards and just 10 points to the Atlanta Falcons. Heading into the playoffs, the Vikings owned the NFL's top-ranked defense after allowing just 275.9 yards per game and holding opponents to just 15.8 points per game. Keenum and company have the pieces to pile up 24 or 31 points; it's just whether they can solve the puzzle of the Eagles' defense and if the offensive line can keep the pressure at bay. "All 11 guys they line up and even the guys that they bring in to play are all solid players".
"Everyone likes to make it about one player - the quarterback". We have our work cut out for us getting the ball out and running the ball. "But like I've said, Case's success doesn't surprise me because we were together, we prepared together and we were around each other every day". So you watch their film and what they've done. Two high-powered defenses equal a low-scoring game where field position and punting could make the difference.
Diggs, who may not ever have to pay another restaurant tab in Minnesota for as long as he lives, caught six passes for 137 yards and one touchdown. The Eagles and Vikings have gone over the total their last four meetings at Lincoln Financial Field. When the Pioneer Press was conducting a phone interview Monday with Roger Staubach, the hall of fame quarterback was informed Keenum was nearby. With the cleats situation, you just have to go out there and try the cleats. "This is the next big moment and you never know what could happen".

- Philadelphia running back LeGarrette Blount ran for his ninth postseason touchdown last week, tying him for the seventh-most postseason rushing touchdowns in National Football League history. "You kind of want to go in with the mindset that good things are going to happen when they're supposed to". The running backs are very hard to tackle. And they play a lot tighter down. It is a play that will forever go down in Vikings history, but they realize the play is in the past and have a bigger opportunity in front of them.
-Defensive end Everson Griffen isn't anxious about Lincoln Financial Field's slippery outdoor surface. Neither team could throw the ball effectively. But Philly is still going to top this week's bitterness rankings, a list of how much beef Minnesota has with the remaining three teams in the playoffs.
The winners meet in Minnesota the first Sunday of February in the Super Bowl.
It's going to take a masterful game plan to get Nick Foles and the offense going, but Reich is confident in his group.
