The New Orleans Saints return to the field this Sunday afternoon, hosting a divisional playoff game against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles. This is a rematch of a November 18th contest when the Saints mauled the Eagles 48-7 at home. New Orleans ended the regular season ranked 14th in total defense, allowing 349 yards and 22 points per game. They oppose a 14th ranked Philadelphia offense that averaged 22.9 points and 365 yards per game. The Eagles had to win their final three games and get some help just to get into the playoffs, then had to win on the road in Chicago to get into this position, and all this amidst a quarterback change.
