Eagles fans will need to make sure that they are free next Sunday afternoon as the Birds have been scheduled to play in the final game of the wild card weekend.
The Eagles will take on the Bears in Chicago at 4:40 p.m. While the Bears gave the Eagles the chance to play in the playoffs, there is no time to thank them. The Birds will be looking to make the Bears regret allowing them into the playoffs.
The game will be broadcast on NBC.
Should they advance to the divisional round, the Eagles would take on the New Orleans Saints, looking to avenge the brutal 48-7 loss they suffered after losing so many players to injuries, forcing them to rely on inexperienced player defensively.
The Eagles-Saints game, should it occur, would take place on Sunday, January 15 at 4:40 p.m. in New Orleans. It would be broadcast on Fox.
Meanwhile, fans might also want to tune in on Saturday night to see the division rival Cowboys take on the Seahawks in Dallas. That game will be broadcast on Fox.
If the Eagles want a chance at replaying the Cowboys, it would have to come in the NFC Championship round.
