NEW ORLEANS — The Saints’ magical season keeps on rolling.
The top-seeded Saints knocked off the defending champion Philadelphia Eagles, 20-14, overcoming a slow, error-filled start to their divisional round game to set up a rematch against the Los Angeles Rams next Sunday here in New Orleans.
After spotting the Eagles two touchdowns in the first half, the Saints clawed back to within 4 points at halftime. In the second half, quarterback Drew Brees then found his rhythm, engineering an 18-play, 92-yard drive that chewed up more than 11 minutes of the third quarter and put the Saints ahead for good.
