Who will the Eagles face in the playoffs? Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Eagles will face the Buccaneers in the playoffs for the first time since 2002.
It’s official — the Eagles will face Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the NFL playoffs.
The Eagles-Buccaneers game on what’s being dubbed “Super Wild Card Weekend” will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 16, and air on Fox.
The last time the Eagles faced the Buccaneers in the playoffs was 2002. Philadelphia lost to Tampa Bay in the NFC championship game, and the Buccaneers went on to win Super Bowl XXXVII against the Raiders. Overall, the Eagles are 2-2 against the Buccaneers in the playoffs.
If the Eagles manage to beat the Super Bowl champs next weekend, the Birds will travel to Lambeau Field to take on Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, who entered Week 18 with the No. 1 seed in the NFC locked up.
In the AFC, the Tennessee Titans will get a bye, with the No. 2 seed Kansas City Chiefs playing at home on Sunday night on NBC, which will also air Saturday afternoon’s game.
Here’s the full schedule for the first round of the NFL playoffs:
