The Atlanta Falcons booked their trip to Lincoln Financial Field to face the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday, January 13 with their win over the Los Angeles Rams this past Saturday. The Eagles are the first team in NFL history to be a one seed underdog to a six seed, with Atlanta being favored by two and a half points. How do the Eagles stack up versus the Falcons? I take a look position by position throughout the week in a five-part series leading up to Saturday’s game. This article’s focus: wide receivers, tight ends, and offensive line.Here are the five players the Philadelphia Eagles can least afford to have a bad night when they host the favored Atlanta Falcons in Saturday night’s playoff clash.

1. CB Ronald Darby. He has shown recent vulnerability in coverage and will be tested early (along with fellow CB Jalen Mills). A lot of it will be his ability to get receivers to the ground after they make catches. Because chunk plays will kill the Eagles in a game like this, where scoring will be at a premium.
2. RB Jay Ajayi. By now it’s clear what the Eagles would like to do: lean heavily on the only back to gain more than 100 yards on the Falcons in the regular season. Look for Ajayi to get a season-high attempts as an Eagle. And look for him to break tackles at the line. If he can’t, it will be a long day for the home team.
4. DT Fletcher Cox. If he cannot terrorize the Falcons running backs or make a solid push up the middle or draw center Alex Mack’s attention on double teams, that would be bad news for a team that figures it can control the line of scrimmage and must to have any chance at a victory.

5. C Jason Kelce. He’s having a great year that must continue in this game. It starts with the right pre-snap calls and crisp shotgun snaps. Then his combo blocks must be on point to get the running game cranked.
The Eagles underwent an overhaul at the wide receiver position this year. After an underwhelming 2016 season from the wide receiver position, the Eagles parted ways with their leading wide receiver Jordan Matthews, trading him to the Buffalo Bills for corner back Ronald Darby, and released wide receiver Doriel Green-Beckham. The other wide receivers on the roster, with the exception of Nelson Agholor, were either released or left via free agency. To replace the voids left by the departures, the Eagles agreed to a one year deal with former Chicago Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery, a three year deal with former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Torrey Smith, and drafted wide receiver Mack Hollins. The Eagles also hired former Bears wide receiver coach Mike Groh to replace former Eagles wide receiver coach Greg Lewis.
3. S Malcolm Jenkins. As with Darby, the Eagles can least afford chunk plays, and Jenkins will have as much to do with preventing them as anyone, even when he drops into the box as a hybrid linebacker or lines up as a slot corner. He needs to keep opponents in front of him and not miss tackles.

Not every Eagle will have a good game. But if any of these five don’t, they don’t figure to have much of a chance at advancing to the NFC championship game.
Eagles The Falcons return pretty much the same roster as they fielded in 2016. Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu ranked first and second on their team respectively in receiving yards for the second consecutive year. Jones finished second in the league in receiving yards with 1444, yet only managed three receiving touchdowns on the year – as opposed to six in 2016. Despite the lack of touchdowns, he was still PFF’s second rated wide receiver, behind Steelers’ wide receiver Antonio Brown. In last Saturday’s win over the Rams, Jones had nine receptions for 94 yards and one touchdown. In the 2016 versus the Eagles, Jones had ten receptions for 135 yards, but failed to score. Sanu bested his 2016 output of 59 receptions for 653 yards receiving with 67 receptions for 703 yards in 2017. In Saturday’s win over the Rams, Sanu had four receptions for 75 yards and no touchdowns. In the 2016 game versus the Eagles, Sanu had two receptions for 14 yards and no touchdowns.
