South Jersey fans are ecstatic tonight
The Eagles playoff win surely has the homes of the Philadelphia area and South Jersey happy.
But it certainly wasn’t pretty. The Eagles offense struggled for most of the game and they won it because of their defense that forced four turnovers.
But that’s exactly why the Eagles are such a formidable opponent in these playoffs. They would likely tell you they played their “C” game today… and it was still enough to win… by a lot.

They are, in my opinion, the clear-cut best team in the NFL. Sure, they didn’t finish the regular season with the best record (they went 14-3 while the Lions and Chiefs both finished 15-2) but they are the most complete team on both sides of the ball.
When their offense isn’t clicking on all cylinders their defense is there to pick up the slack.
South Jersey fans have a real reason to be excited this January and February. While they had to experience the heartbreak from the Phillies this past October the Eagles look ready to go on a deep playoff run that could very well end in a Super Bowl.
If their offense plays better than they did today, I’m not sure what team out there can compete with them.
The road forward won’t be easy. They’ll have a tough opponent in next week's divisional round (it could either be the Vikings or Rams) but they’ll be the betting favorite no matter who the team is.
Keep your fingers crossed, South Jersey!
