PRO FOOTBALL PLAYOFFS: NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES
January 4, 2014  | By David Bianculli

NBC, 8:00 p.m. ET

 

In today’s second postseason contest, the New Orleans Saints have the better record (11-5), but the Philadelphia Eagles (10-5) have home-field advantage. It’ll be a showplace for both quarterbacks: Drew Brees for the Saints and Nick Foles for the Eagles. And though Brees is incredibly efficient at home, he’s much less so on the road, and the brutally cold conditions may favor Philly. One stat that isn’t mentioned often, but which may be a factor in today’s game: Brees is 10 years older than Foles. Will experience carry the day? Or freshness of feet and arms?
