This has been an unusual NFL season, one in which many of the game’s best players went out with season-ending injuries. While the Eagles and Minnesota Vikings became the NFC’s top two seeds they finished the year without their starting quarterbacks. Much like the Eagles are underdogs to the Falcons, many will expect Minnesota to lose to the New Orleans Saints. On Sunday, the Saints beat rival Carolina 31-26 as quarterback Drew Brees threw for 376 yards and two touchdowns. – he threw for fewer yards and touchdowns this year than in any of his 12 seasons with the Saints.
