Eagles Legend Claims Wild Card Game vs. Packers Will Be a 'Blowout'

After a tremendous regular season that saw the Philadelphia Eagles win 14 games, the Eagles will open up the postseason on Sunday afternoon against the Green Bay Packers on the Super Wild Card Weekend.

It is the second time these two teams will play each other this season. In Week 1, the Eagles beat the Packers 34-29 in Brazil, behind a three-touchdown performance from star running back Saquon Barkley.

Philadelphia has held serve at home this season, going 8-1 at Lincoln Financial Field. For the Eagles to take down the Packers on Sunday, they'll need the home crowd behind them. Green Bay is familiar with being the seventh seed as they defeated the Dallas Cowboys last year in the playoffs.

That said, one Eagles legend isn’t phased by Green Bay and made a bold prediction on the Kay Adams Show.

Former Eagles running back Darren Sproles said “It’s going to be a blowout,” when asked by Adams how Sunday’s playoff game will go.

Sproles’ response caught Adams off guard as the former Eagle mentioned that the game would be at the Linc. Philadelphia fans would love for Sunday’s game to be a blowout, but anything can happen in the playoffs.

When these two teams played each other in Week 1, Green Bay jumped out to an early 6-0 lead in the first quarter, but the Eagles battled back scoring 17 points in the second quarter. However, the Pack still had a 19-17 lead at the half.

But to the Eagles’ credit, they woke up in the second half. The Eagles outscored the Packers, 17-10 in the final two quarters. Philadelphia needs another huge game from Barkley and for Hurts to take care of the ball, which was an issue in the opener.

If the Eagles do those things on offense, along with the defense limiting explosive plays on the ground and in the passing game, they will give themselves a chance to advance to the next round.
