After winning a “home” game in another state to advance to the NFC divisional round of the NFL playoffs, the Rams are actually on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers, 22-10, in the wild card round.

How the Rams can win: The Rams must neutralize the Eagles running back Saquon Barkleywho ran for 255 yards and two long touchdowns against them in November. If the Rams can control Barkley, a pass rush that netted nine sacks against the Vikings can put pressure on quarterback Jalen Hurts. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford must play error-free in a tough climate and running back Kyren Williams must avoid turnovers.

How the Eagles can win: As it has all season, the Eagles’ offensive line must clear the way for Barkley to put together another big performance and keep the suddenly sack-happy Rams away from Hurts. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio must adjust to the loss of injured linebacker Nakobe Dean and find ways to pressure Stafford and running back Kyren Williams into turnovers.
