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.

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.

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 Rams are being counted out but there are 5 reasons they could pull off the upset against the Eagles on Sunday

Philadelphia's offensive line may be dominant but that pales in comparison to the performance the Rams defensive line put forth in Monday night's blowout win over the Minnesota Vikings . Los Angeles sacked Sam Darnold nine times en route to a beatdown that sent a clear message to the Eagles:

The Eagles will be taking on a Los Angeles defense that tied an NFL playoff record with nine sacks Monday night against the Minnesota Vikings.

Jordan Mailata was a blatant Pro Bowl snub, but he got his revenge and ultimate respect, earning first-team Associated Press All-Pro honors for 2024. The Eagles left tackle was among six players from Philadelphia to earn first or second-team honors.

The Eagles should have 21 of 22 starters available for this game. They will obviously be without middle linebacker Nakobe Dean, who suffered a torn patellar tendon in the wild-card round win over the Packers. But they’re still pretty healthy for a team getting ready to play its 19th game of an NFL season.

Sirianni often takes the heat for his players' missteps even when it makes him look foolish. His players know it.

Saquon Barkley and Zack Baun earned first-team honors, while Jordan Mailata and several other Eagles made the second-team.

Jalen Hurts felt little need to defend his pedestrian numbers in his first game in three weeks because of a concussion. The 131 yards passing. The 36 yards rushing.
