This time, the game was a wild card round showdown to be played in Philadelphia on a cold Saturday night. New Orleans entered the playoffs with an 11-5 record, but second in the NFC South, sending them on the road to face an Eagles team that had a 10-6 record but had won the NFC East. Both teams boasted offenses that were ranked in the league's top five, but the defenses held the game scoreless until the second quarter. The Saints got on the scoreboard first, with a Shayne Graham field goal, but Philadelphia took the lead with a late quarter touchdown pass from quarterback Nick Foles to Riley Cooper. Drew Brees then marched his Saints 47 yards with less than 1:50 left in the half for another Graham kick that cut the halftime deficit to 7-6. New Orleans regained the lead on a 3rd quarter touchdown pass from Brees to wideout Lance Moore, then extended it to 20-7on a touchdown run by Mark Ingram. Philly closed the deficit when running back LeSean McCoy went in for a short touchdown run near the end of the quarter, and the two teams traded field goals early in the 4th quarter. Philadelphia then took a late lead, when Foles found tight end Zach Ertz on a short touchdown pass, giving the Eagles a 24-23 lead with only 4:34 remaining. Brees would again lead his team on a late march, this time a 10-play effort highlighted by three tough runs from Khiry Robinson. Eventually, the Saints moved into position for Shayne Graham's winning 32-yd. field goal with no time left on the clock. The 26-24 win was the first road triumph in New Orleans postseason history.

Brees has a 6-2 record against the Eagles as the Saints starting quarterback, including a 4-1 mark in the Dome. He threw for 360 yards and four touchdowns in the Saints pounding of the Eagles back in November, part of a 546 yard offensive effort. The New Orleans defense demolished the Philadelphia offense that afternoon as well, holding them to just 196 yards while forcing 3 turnovers. The Daily Advertiser-USA TODAY NThe Eagles are again led by Foles at quarterback, and are a battle tested and confident group. The Saints however, have been on a focused mission since their heartbreaking playoff loss in Minnesota last January. They have had two weeks to rest injuries and rejuvenate themselves after a dominant regular season. New Orleans will most likely be able to pepper the Eagles injury plagued secondary and 30th ranked pass defense, while hoping to establish balance with their talented running game and powerful offensive line. Defensively, the Saints look to flex the muscle of their 2nd ranked run defense, while putting heavy pressure on Foles by winning the battle up front. A game long battle between the talented Philadelphia wideouts and tight ends against the New Orleans secondary will be a major factor in the game, but this Saints defense showed the ability to create big plays down the second half of the season. The defending champs won't go down without a fight, but they won't be able to match the firepower on either side of ball that the fiercely motivated Saints have at home.
