The Philadelphia Eagles are busy gearing up for their Wild Card playoff game against the Green Bay Packers.
This is a rematch from their first game of the season in Brazil, a matchup that came down to the wire.
If this game is anything like their first meeting, this could end up being one of the best games of Wild Card Weekend.
The Eagles don’t seem worried about this game, especially since they are playing at home, a notoriously tough place to play for visitors.
This will be Saquon Barkley’s first playoff game as a member of the Eagles, and as he mentioned to reporter John Clark, he’s excited about the atmosphere of this game.
“The home games here are electric. It’s out of this world,” Barkley said.

Lincoln Financial Field, or “the Link,” as many fans call it, is a legendary stadium in Philadelphia.
The stadium is surrounded by massive parking lots, and fans have no problem standing out in the cold for hours, tailgating, waiting to watch their favorite team take the field.
While this game will mean a lot to Barkley, seeing how it’s his first with a new team, it’s also a bit of a revenge game for his teammates.
The Eagles were bounced in the first round of the playoffs last year, and are not only expecting to win this game, but they’re hoping to make a deep run, potentially all the way to the Super Bowl.
They’ll have to take it one game at a time, but vibes are certainly high in Philadelphia.
