Xavier Rhodes & Alshon Jeffery New to NFC Title Game, Familiar with Matchup

Xavier Rhodes is used to seeing Alshon Jeffery in a Bears jersey, but this time around he will go up against the receiver in Eagles Midnight Green.

Jeffery, now in his sixth NFL season, has scored more against the Vikings than against any other team. In nine games against Minnesota, Jeffery has seven touchdowns. Rhodes and the Vikings most recently saw Jeffery in the final game of the 2016 regular season, when he was held scoreless – and made just one catch for 10 yards – at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Eagles signed Jeffery as a free agent this offseason and inked him to a four-year extension in December.
