Eagles Set Up Potential Rematch with Bears in Divisional Round
If the Philadelphia Eagles can pull off a victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Sunday's Wild Card Round matchup, their path to the NFC Championship Game will become clearer. A win would set up a highly anticipated showdown with the Chicago Bears in the Divisional Round at Soldier Field.
The Bears' recent win over the Green Bay Packers has confirmed that they'll be hosting the 3-seed Eagles next weekend. The scenario leaves the Seattle Seahawks, currently seeded as the number one team in the NFC, facing off against the Los Angeles Rams in a home game at Lumen Field.
It's worth noting that if the Eagles had secured a win over the Washington Commanders during their Week 18 matchup, they would have been in position to clinch a Divisional Round home game regardless of the outcome. However, should they fall to the 49ers on Sunday, the Bears will be set to face the Rams, and the Seahawks will host the 49ers.
The Eagles and Bears have a long history of playoff matchups, including memorable games like the Fog Bowl in 1988 and the infamous Double Doink Game following the 2018 season. Philadelphia has emerged victorious in their three previous postseason encounters with Chicago.
With the stakes rising, the Eagles are set to face off against the 49ers on Sunday, followed by a potential rematch with the Bears if they advance further in the playoffs. Their next game would either be at Lumen Field against the Rams or potentially back at Soldier Field against the Seahawks.
