The Philadelphia Eagles are set to face the Tampa Bay Bucs this Sunday at 1pm for Wild Card Weekend. But the story line isnt that the Eagles are facing the Bucs, its that the Eagles are facing Tom Brady. The Eagles have previously faced Tom Brady TWICE in the playoffs. But we will focus on the last time the Eagles went up against TB12.
The year…..was 2018. The underdog Eagles had defied the odds and made the Super Bowl. The Eagles had their backup quarterback Nick Foles at the helm and they were set to face the greatest of all-time.
The combination of Tom Brady and Bill Belichick had become a staple in the NFL playoffs, and they certainly got used to winning Lombardi trophies. Would they win another? Here is your trip down memory lane.
