Falcons can soar against Carson Wentz-less Eagles in divisional round

The Atlanta Falcons continue to show they are over their Super Bowl hangover, advancing to the divisional round as the No. 6 seed with a playoff-opening win over the third-seeded Los Angeles Rams. Now it's off to Philadelphia to face the top-seeded Eagles, who will be without quarterback Carson Wentz after he suffered a season-ending ACL injury.

Reasons to be excited: The defense continues to play at high level and is fresh off holding the league's top-scoring offense, the Rams, to 13 points. The Falcons are excelling at all levels of the defense, pressuring up front, tackling in the open field and making plays on the ball.
