The road to Super Bowl LIX continued this weekend, as eight NFL teams turned into four during the Divisional Round. The Chiefs machine kept on rolling, a rookie sensation continued his historic run, and fans were treated to an MVP contender clash that left no one dissapointed.

Following a cold matchup to kick off the NFL Playoffs, Eagles OL Jordan Mailata gave his thoughts on the weather advantage vs. the Rams.

The Eagles famously hosted the Detroit Lions in 2013 in a game dubbed the “Snow Bowl,” with whiteout conditions throughout regulation. LeSean McCoy ran 217 yards and two touchdowns in a 34-20 victory.

The Eagles have the best offensive tackle tandem in the NFL with Mailata and Lane Johnson, who combined to give up 24 total pressures all season. To put that into perspective, Alaric Jackson allowed 24 pressures alone this year, which is still an impressive number for a starting left tackle.

When it came to the fourth quarter, the Eagles had to kick field goals and extra points with a lot of snow on the ground, making it a tough job for not only kicker Jake Elliott, but punter Braden Mann.

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.

That's because Hurts went down in a tie game late in the third quarter when he was sacked by Jaylen McCullough at the Rams' 27-yard line. Hurts was slow to get up and was limping. He stayed in the game and handed off to Barkley on third down.

Saquon Barkley powered the Eagles' offense all day, but it was his two long touchdown scampers that proved the difference in the win over the Rams.
