Left tackle Jordan Mailata isn't a fan of snow games, but the Eagles could turn adverse conditions into an advantage against the Rams.

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.

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.

One of the Eagles' biggest strengths in recent years has been their treasure trove of gifted offensive linemen. From Jason Peters and Jason Kelce to Lane Johnson, it seems Philadelphia has a knack for developing stables of athletic behemoths to safeguard the trenches.

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.

On run plays, Eagles defensive tackle Thomas Booker said he “knows the edge is going to be set” when teams go to Smith’s side. Smith does a good job of making running backs cut back inside to get tackled by their interior defensive linemen and linebackers, which has to be a priority against Rams running back Kyren Williams.

Eagles offensive coordiantor Kellen Moore has three head coaching interviews over a two-day stretch, with one NFC East rival interested in him returning to their team.

If the Eagles get an early lead and can lean on the run, the Rams will be in trouble. Even if they commit eight defenders to the box in an attempt to stop Barkley, they don’t necessarily have the athleticism at linebacker to chase him down on off-tackle runs, which could lead to big gains.

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.

Nick Sirianni's tenure as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles has been a roller coaster of sorts over the last four seasons. While he remains the winningest coach in team history through this stretch, there have been plenty of controversial moments that have led some analysts to believe a change in leadership is needed.
