The Philadelphia Eagles and the Minnesota Vikings had been neck and neck in the power rankings all last season. During the post-season, they finally got the chance to prove who was, in fact, superior when the Eagles and the Vikings met to compete for the 2017-18 NFC Championship at Lincoln Financial Field.
While it was never meant to be personal, that is exactly what ended up happening when the Vikings came to Philly for the NFC Championship match-up. That single meeting in 2017 has led to the teams being rivals after the Eagles sent the Vikings home with a loss.
