The NFL divisional round continues Saturday on FOX, and all eyes are on the NFC.
After a week off, Jalen Hurts and the top-ranked Philadelphia Eagles (13-4) opened their postseason with one game against Daniel Jones and the sixth-seeded New York Giants (10-7-1).
These two NFC East rivals meet for the third time this season after the Eagles defeated the Giants in weeks 14 and 18 of the regular season. Hurts missed two of the Eagles’ last three games with a sprained shoulder, and when he returned for the regular-season finale — a 22-16 win over the Giants’ backups — Hurts’ groundplay was limited.
On the other hand, NY pulled off a solid road win over Minnesota in the wildcard round, and outside linebacker Azeez Ojulari, who was ruled questionable with a quad injury, was activated.
The winner will face either the No. 5 Dallas Cowboys or the No. 2 San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game (Sunday, January 29 at 3:00 p.m. ET on FOX and the FOX Sports App).
Earlier, the Kansas City Chiefs held off the Jacksonville Jaguars to redeem their ticket to the AFC Championship Game.

Started with a bang!
The Eagles were in the red zone for the first few minutes of the game when Hurts went 40 yards deep to DeVonta Smith on the second play.
Then tight end Dallas Goedert finished the job and hit a 16-yard score to give the Eagles an early lead 7-0.
