The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a pivotal wild-card rematch at Raymond James Stadium, with both teams entering the game at 2-1. The Eagles are coming off a narrow 15-12 victory over the New Orleans Saints, while the Buccaneers aim to bounce back from a disappointing 26-7 loss to the Denver Broncos.
Quarterback Baker Mayfield speaks to the importance of familiarity, given last year's playoff history. The game promises to be challenging as the Eagles will likely be without key players A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith due to injuries.
Despite these setbacks, Buccaneers’ coach Todd Bowles respects the Eagles' offensive capabilities. Running back Saquon Barkley is highlighted as a significant threat, leading the league in rushing yards and adding to the competitive stakes as both teams gear up for a fierce matchup.
