The Eagles are on the verge of making NFL history thanks to their overtime win against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, a unique distinction to add to their resume
The Philadelphia Eagles are going back to the Super Bowl for the second time in the last five years after hammering the San Francisco 49'ers 31-7 in the NFC Championship Game.
The Philadelphia Eagles controlled the game throughout the first half but trailed on the scoreboard at the break 7-3. Miscues led to that deficit. Those miscues ultimately caught up with them and led to a 17-11 loss to the San Francisco 49'ers.
It only figures the Eagles be in first place in the NFC East with Sunday's 25-20 over San Francisco. Dallas (1-3), Washington (1-3) and the New York Giants (0-4) all lost earlier, leaving the Eagles (1-2-1) atop the division, despite a horrible start to the season.
The Eagles (0-2-1) will travel to the West Coast to take on the San Francisco 49ers (2-1) in a prime-time matchup on Sunday Night Football.
While the Eagles search for their first win, many things must fall into place to accomplish that feat on Sunday night...
