Philadelphia Eagles
Philadelphia Eagles When the Eagles head to Arizona to take on the Cardinals and their high-powered offense this Sunday they will be playing a very different team then they face in a week 13 blow-out. Since struggling down the stretch in the regular season, the Kurt Warner and the Cards appear to have fixed whatever was wrong in their two playoff wins.

Like the Cardinals, Philadelphia has taken on a new completion since their last meeting as well. When these two met on November 27th, the Eagles were 5-5-1 and though they got the victory over Arizona on Thanksgiving night, there were still a lot of questions to be answered about the Eagles consistency.

Since Thanksgiving, Philly is 7-1 and those questions have been answered.

Donovan McNabb is back to Pro-Bowl form and the Eagle offense seems unstoppable at times. Running back Brian Westbrook has battled injuries but is still a huge threat to opposing defenses. His big
play ability has forced teams to account for him whenever he is on the field, opening up the passing game for McNabb.

The last time these two played Westbrook rushed for 110 yards and 2 touchdowns on 22 carries, caught 3 balls for 20 more yards and another 2 touchdowns.

On the other side of the ball, the Eagles have forced five turnovers and allowed just 322 passing yards in their two playoff games. During the regular season, Philadelphia had the league's third-ranked defense allowing a mere 274.3 yards per game.

"We're going to be close in every game because we aren't going to give up those type of big plays," said Pro-Bowl safety Brian Dawkins. "Hopefully, that gives the offense confidence to make whatever call they want whenever they want to call it because they trust us not to give up a lot of points."

The Cardinals thrive on big plays from Kurt Warner and receivers Larry Fitzgerald and Anquan Boldin and the Eagles have a knack for not giving up the big ones.
