The Philadelphia Eagles are one of the best teams in the NFL this season but the team as a whole still isn’t getting the proper credit they deserve without Carson Wentz in the lineup. The team won 13 games during the regular season for the first time since 2004 and finished second in the entire league in points against (295) and third in points for (457).
While most teams would be considered Super Bowl favourites with those stats, the Eagles were ruled the underdogs for their Divisional Round game at home against the Atlanta Falcons. However, that didn’t stop them from advancing to the Conference Championship.
Immediately after the game clock hit zeros across the board, Lane Johnson and Chris Long busted out dog masks and walked around the field with them on to remind everyone that the best home team in football were considered underdogs.
The Eagles will host the winner of the New Orleans Saints and Minnesota Vikings game next weekend and will look to advance to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2004.
