Eagles vs. Rams: 10 stats to know for NFC Divisional Round Game

The Rams (10-7) are heading to Philadelphia for a must-see NFC Divisional Round matchup against the host Eagles (14-3) at what could be a snowy Lincoln Financial Field. The Rams are buoyed by a dominant performance in their 27-9 victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night, securing their eighth postseason win under Head Coach Sean McVay.

Stafford has recorded six consecutive playoff games with at least 200 passing yards and two touchdown passes, tied for the fourth-longest streak in postseason history. In his first nine playoff games, he has totaled the fourth-most passing yards (2,672), fifth-most completions (216), and tied for the eighth-most passing touchdowns (17) in NFL history. He improved to 19-3 from December to February as a member of the Rams and is 5-1 in the postseason with the team.

Hurts has led the Eagles to a 13-2 (.867) record in games he has started and finished this season (including playoffs). Since 2022, Hurts is 40-12 (.769) as a starting QB, which marks the 2nd-best winning percentage in the NFL, trailing only Patrick Mahomes (.821, 46-10).

Jalen Hurts could successfully push football down the field and face a team that allows vertical passing opportunities.

Sean McVay's group can be explosive, and they are quick starters on offense.

Philadelphia has improved leaps and bounds on defense since Vic Fangio became defensive coordinator.

After playing at Ford Field for most of his career, Matthew Stafford moved to SoFi Stadium, where he has not had to deal with nasty weather.

The Eagles and Rams will meet in the postseason for the fourth time and for the first time since the 2001 NFC Championship when the Rams claimed victory over the Eagles 29-24 en route to a Super Bowl berth. They are 2-1 in their three playoff matchups and 1-0 on the road. With a win on Sunday, the Rams can reach the NFC Championship round for the third time in eight seasons under Head Coach Sean McVay.

Philadelphia rushed for a single-season club-record 3,048 yards (6thmost in NFL history) and finished 2nd in the NFL in rushing yards per game (179.3), trailing only Baltimore (187.6). The Eagles are the second team in NFL history to rush for 3,000+ yards and 25+ TDs (29).

Matthew Stafford (2,672) needs 199 passing yards to pass Warren Moon (2,870) for the fourth-most passing yards in a player's first 10 career playoff games.

Puka Nacua (225) needs 92 receiving yards to pass Isaac Bruce (317) for the most receiving yards by a Rams player

through their first three postseason games.
