Saints Host Eagles In The Big Easy

Posted by Matt Loede on December 21st, 2007 filed in News

The Saints will look to keep their playoff hopes alive this week when they battle the Eagles at the Superdome.  The Saints are 7-and-7 and sit one game behind the Vikings for the sixth and final playoff spot in the NFC.  The Eagles come in at 6-and-8, but they were eliminated from playoff contention despite a 10-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15.  Four of the Eagles’ six wins this season have come on the road.  The Saints have won two straight and three-of-four overall to climb to .500.  New Orleans remained very much alive in the NFC playoff scenario with a 31-24 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week.  Aaron Stecker ran for two scores in place of the injured Reggie Bush.  New Orleans won 27-24 when these two teams met last season in Louisiana.
