2-time Super Bowl champ loves Eagles-49ers matchup for specific reason

Key Highlights

• The Philly offense struggled, and they’ve admitted that much on many occasions. Two-time Super Bowl champion Chris Long believes that the Eagles’ upcoming playoff matchup against the San Francisco 49ers is a favorable situation for the home team.“In a lot of ways, this is a good matchup because for the offense, it is a good matchup.
• If the offense is a squeaky wheel, you’d probably rather see the worst defense in the dance, right?
• If the offense can’t get right against this defense, then it is nuclear meltdown in Philly,” Long said on his podcast this week. The Eagles would certainly have to consider making some changes if they can’t figure out a way to make it click on the offensive side of the ball on their biggest stage yet this season.

• I looked at that defense all year long.
• They lost a lot of guys.
