No. 7 Dallas Cowboys

It is unclear whether Cowboys fans were rooting for the Bears so they could face a Saints team they already defeated, or the Eagles since the Rams have looked a little vulnerable. Dallas will bring their stout defense and rushing attack to the bright lights of Los Angeles.

Despite enduring plenty of skepticism this season, Dak Prescott looked the part of a playoff quarterback against the Seahawks. Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett acknowledged Prescott's performance.

"He's just a rare guy," Garrett told ESPN. "His leadership, his toughness, just his way. His spirit, it's like none other. Somehow, some way, he was going to figure this thing out for us."

Prescott will need a similar outing against a Rams team that has no trouble putting up points. The Cowboys will have a chance if their defense can pressure Jared Goff. The Rams quarterback has taken massive steps forward, but he is not immune to making mistakes.

Ezekiel Elliott finished with 169 total yards against the Seahawks. Elliott praised the Cowboys offensive linemen and noted he believes the team is just getting started.

“We’re just getting started,” Elliott said per the Cowboys website. “We’re ready for whatever they put in front of us.”

While Elliott made several big plays, it was the smaller runs that impressed Garrett.

“He was something else,” Garrett explained per the Cowboys website. “He made some big plays in the ballgame, some big runs. But he made a lot of dirty runs throughout the ballgame that showed up at the end of the game for us. He’s a big-time football player.”

No. 8 Philadelphia Eagles

Philadelphia took the lead late against Chicago, but a big kickoff return made it easier for the Bears offense to march back down the field. Thankfully for Eagles fans, the Bears missed the potential game-winning field goal, and Philadelphia will head to New Orleans for the Divisional Round.

Philadelphia will have to find a bit more magic to be able to pull off the upset at the Superdome. Nick Foles continues to fill in nicely for an injured Carson Wentz. The Eagles were blown out by the Saints earlier this season, but Eagles head coach Doug Pederson believes his team has improved.

"Yeah, it wasn’t very good the first time," Pederson told The Inquirer. "And you know, we’ll take a look at that film. We’ll take a look at this one. I think we’re a different football team now than we were then. And we’ve just got to put a good plan together in all three phases. Go back down there, we’re on the road, it’s going to be in a dome, it’s going to be loud again, all those things, and it’s going to be a great atmosphere."

The Saints topped the Eagles 48-7 in their initial matchup and the Eagles defense will have to find a way to slow down the New Orleans offense to have a chance to win late.
