Another rematch is coming Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Los Angeles Rams at 3 p.m. in the NFC Divisional Round.

The Eagles beat the Rams 37-20 in late November at SoFi Stadium in California. Saquon Barkley rushed for a franchise-record 255 yards with two touchdowns in that game, an A.J. Brown finished with 109 yards and a TD. The Eagles outgained the Rams 481-290. 

Matthew Stafford passed for 243 yards and two TDs in the loss. 

This season, Stafford has thrown for 3,762 yards with 20 TDs and just eight interceptions, which is tied for his third lowest in a season.

However, Sunday is expected to be very cold. The temperature is expected to be 32 degrees at kickoff, along with the potential for accumulating snowfall.

That’s not good news for Stafford.

Stafford has a 54.6% completion percentage, 76% passer rating, 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in the rain or snow. He is 1-8 in rain or snow games.

Well, what do you expect from a Super Bowl-winning quarterback who played most of his career playing indoors (Detroit) and in favorable weather (Los Angeles).

That’s why I am not a big fan of domes.

Home teams get used to being pampered.

I like football weather.

The Eagles are used to playing outdoors, and that could be the difference.

Plus, the Rams just beat the Vikings on Monday. It’s a tough task for a West Coast team to play on a Monday night, get back to L.A. Tuesday morning, then travel to Philadelphia on Saturday. The Rams are 17-9 playing on the east coast under coach Sean McVay.

The Eagles are 24-20-1 all-time vs. the Rams, including a 15-5 record since 1986 (2-0 under coach Nick Sirianni).

Still, while those stats are nice, the Rams are still a dangerous team.

Stafford has weapons aplenty in Kyren Williams, Puca Nakua and Cooper Kupp. The Rams finished 15th in the NFL with 331 yards per game and 20th with 21.6 points per game.

The Eagles are without Nakobe Dean, who was second on the team in tackles. His speed off the line was very important to the Eagles, and he disputed the line of scrimmage. When Dean got hurt last week, the Packers attacked that hole and threw to Josh Jacobs out of the backfield, and Oren Burks was no Dean. If Burks or Jeremiah Trotter Jr. are unable to replace Dean, it could spell trouble. Williams could have a very good day.

Zack Baun may also take on a larger role without Dean. Baun has been amazing this season, and has been an excellent linebacker, along with Dean. Baun has excelled in coverage and been dominant against the run. He could be the one tasked with defending Williams, who will most likely be used more as a receiver Sunday.

But the rest of the Eagles’ defense is still healthy, which is a very good thing going into the matchup.

Most likely Darius Slay will be covering Nacua, who caught nine passes for 117 yards against the Eagles in Week 12. Cooper DeJean and Slay were mainly on him, and he caught three passes against each of them. Slay committed three penalties in that game.

Slay could have a tough matchup with Nacua’s route running and quickness. Nacua has the ability to make contested catches, too. But Slay can make plays, and he has to step up Sunday.

Defensively, the Rams finished the regular season ranked 26th with 353 yards allowed and 17th with 22.7 points allowed. But they tied an NFL postseason record with nine sacks against the Vikings and had quarterback hits, 10 tackles for loss and two takeaways.

Is the defense going to cause that type of trouble again?

Well, it’s highly unlikely the Eagles’ stout offensive line will allow nine sacks, as long Jalen Hurts does not keep holding onto the ball. Still, the Rams will not get nine sacks again.

The Eagles are loaded at offense, and I expect Brown and DeVonta Smith to be used more. Also, Barkley should have another big game.He rushed for a franchise-record 255 yards with two TDs against the Rams in Week 12. The Rams defense has been playing better, but the group is still the same as it was in their first matchup. Barkley can and should expose them once again.

The Eagles should make it back to the NFC Championship game for the second time in three years and the third time in eight seasons.
