Our strengths are, heres where announcer youre watching news playoff special, spo we match up. Heres how we have to play at the falcons it matter whats we do on the field. Sponsored by cure auto with nick foles 1 for 17 with insurance, drive well. Oh, the link is ready to rock. Him as quarterback why do you it is playoff football. Think he went through those a whole new level. Struggles. I think they are trying to figure what hes doing well. Eagles with a great home field we have to remember he didnt advantage thanks to the loud have a lot of work with that first team group until he crowd at lincoln financial started playing. Field. Its three hours to the start of the game and xfinity live is i think the bye week, getting geared in, zeroed in, this is already packed. Exactly what nick does well. Look at the people down there. This is what he likes. Getting that timing. Weve heard a lot of chants of i think you will see a different fly eagles fly inside. Nick foles today. Theyre fired up. Thank you for joining us as we theres a great stat weve seen in philadelphia that when you rush the ball 25 or more get you ready for kick off at times against the falcons, fams 4 30 today. Were live in south philly if are 266. You dont want to watch the game eagles 111 is tha the at home, if you want to hang with us, come on down. The running game. We want to have you. I think for both sides. This is such a good place to i was in atlanta on wednesday catch a game. No question. And theyre coming in with the over the next two hours our team same mentality. Will get you ready for kick off. Its going to be a cold game. Philadelphia has a great pass rush. Well have live reports from the cant just throw the ball all over the field. Field, the plaza, the parking whoever establishes the run game lot, nbc 10 has you covered, were going to bring it to you, and stops the other team will win. Were your official station for thats why i like philadelphia because of their defense. The eagles. Last time it was home underdogs was a game against you and the bucs coming up here in the quarterback nick foles versus matt ryan. 2000. Been a month since league mvp wow well they won that game. Ha, ha. Tell us about the Home Field Advantage in philly they have carson wentz went out now on nick foles. He started one playoff game in the last two years. Well thats because they have in his career and last time a good team. Eagles made the playoffs. Foles threw two touchdowns in the atmosphere is raqquckus. That game with zero turnovers. Thats important. Ur so far this year hes been they feed off it. No question. Its not just the fan s. This is a Good Football Team that plays inconsiste well. Inconsistent. The key today is finding the i think the crowd helps, especially the run defense. Right foles against the san i think it will be great Francisco Giants had 4 touchdowns and no interceptions. Atmosphere. Do you have a score final two games looked like a prediction. I think the eagles win a different qb was 23 for 49. Lowscoring game.

Look at nick foles leading man, starting quarterback for eagles arriving here at the link. He is ready to go. One guy going to be effect on his teammates say he has been the opposite jake elliott coming more confident, more relaxed, and more comfortable this week, up with big situations particularly against the giants ever since then have been a settling into his role. Really great story for the here are the birds talking about Philadelphia Eagles we hope our rookie kicker is not affected by being underdogs at home in the playoffs. The winds. I mean, weve been an under obviously 15 to 16 miles an hour dog in our last game ever since winds. What a difference between 11 went down and we just found a yesterday and today. Way to win. 65 yesterday and then today it regardless defense helping drops 30 degrees in just two offense or offense helping hours. Defense or special teams, we so a shot to the fans but not just got to go out and play our affecting them. Type of football. Doing what we did in the we see people still out tailgating doing just fine. Regular season. People were doubting us before. Lets get to our chief all year i have no idea if meteorologist tammy, tell us weve been favorite or underdogs about the wind and we know the temperature drop can feel it all year and not going to change out. You can see the players guys now. The games going to be preparing puffy clothes, under garment, well, you know, executing. Whatever gets you ready to go john are the joe namath panty play football let that be your hose days they got better stuff so do all the fans. Reason. For me personally im not even the winds will be a player out concerned about who the under dog is all the other stuff, i there, at first i thought i wanted to be in the stadium, no, dont care about that. We using that as fuel and we we dropped 30 degrees it was 64 going to go out there and this time yesterday. Execute. Right now looking at 34 degrees. I think whoever perceives us going to feel much chillier in as the weakest thats fine, the shade. Feels like 22 degrees. Teams over look us, thats good, winds gusting to 22 miles an hour. I know keith mentioned the winds it just fuels us. Would be 15 miles an hour thats when i talked to jalen mills sustained, the gusts are what about being an under dog mainly you want to avoid for the kickers and the passing this is due to missing carson wentz i going to throw things off in said do you want to prove youre not just a oneman team. Many places, looking at 28 miles he said not really he said he an hour wind gusts out of the wants to win it for carson wentz. North and north west, its cold and Jason Peters Hall of fame wind. Yesterday we had the south wind. Tackles, cant be out with them with these north west winds all of the players lost due to historically higher the win the injury the eagles want to win it for them. Lower the scores. Both teams will kick and pass into these wins. Im john clark live at the link dome teams struggle in the cold. Back to you keith and jacquelyn. Thanks so much.

You know eagles fans are starting to come in and warm this place up. Theres a lot of energy. As we talked about with mike, we got a tense of a lot of concern and worry over the last couple weeks but today its just all passion and belief. Now they did just announce inactives. Take a look at them. Sidney jones who made eagles debut in last regular season game is inactive with hamstring issue he will not play, wont be an infusion of his young talent in this game. Destiny vaeao and qualls out they are going with fletcher cox, tim jurn and bo allen. Today will see corey graham i o today will see Brandon Graham into one of those defensive tackle spots. That will be key because weak spot for the Atlanta Falcons line is their guard so maybe eagles can get pressure there. Im telling you the energy is really picking up here as is the wind. As you can see behind me, things are blowing all around, my hairs blowing, the wind is really picking up.
