That's the reality for Sunday afternoon when the Philadelphia Eagles and Los Angeles Rams face off in the divisional round of the 2025 playoffs. While many Eagle players have experienced what kind of help the cold (and snow) can bring to the team - especially at home - not everyone is thrilled with that reality.

The Eagles will be taking on a Los Angeles defense that tied an NFL playoff record with nine sacks Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.

Jordan Mailata was a blatant Pro Bowl snub, but he got his revenge and ultimate respect, earning first-team Associated Press All-Pro honors for 2024. The Eagles left tackle was among six players from Philadelphia to earn first or second-team honors.
Tell us what you really think, Jared. Los Angeles Rams rookie edge rusher Jared Verse doesn’t love Eagles fans, and he wasn’t afraid to say it loud and repeatedly in an interview with the Los Angeles Times reporter Gary Klein on Thursday.
Verse had his first encounter as a professional with Eagles fans during the Rams' Week 12 loss to the Eagles at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. Prior to the game, those wearing green and white in attendance jeered the rookie, something that has not forgotten about.
