Philadelphia Eagles

Nick Foles

Nobody gave the Philadelphia Eagles much of a chance of beating the Atlanta Falcons. They were the first No. 1 seed to ever be an underdog in their first playoff game.

Now, the Eagles are going to host the NFC Championship Game next week after eliminating the defending NFC champs 15-10 on Saturday night.

Nick Foles was given a really tough time for not being Carson Wentz. He only had a Projected Fantasy Points total of 9.5 and was expected to have a tough day. He only led the Eagles on one touchdown drive, but he went 23-for-30 for 246 yards in a fantastic game.

Foles led the Eagles to a victory on a day that things really didn't go all that well for most of the men in green.

But this day was about the Philadelphia defense.

The Eagles posted a shutout in the second half and frustrated the heck out of Matt Ryan and the Atlanta offense.

Tevin Coleman had a great day, rushing for 79 yards on 10 carries. That said, Devonta Freeman only had 10 carries for seven yards. He beat his PFP total thanks to his receiving touchdown, but his struggles contributed to Atlanta's dismissal.
