No one is looking past the Minnesota Vikings, who have the most wins ever by a wild-card team, but the Los Angeles Rams will head into tonight’s game knowing which team they’ll face in the next round if they win.
With the Lions and Commanders set to square off as one of the two NFC divisional round games, the winner of tonight’s Rams-Vikings matchup will head to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles next weekend.
The date and time of that game is already set, too: Sunday at 3 p.m. ET on NBC.

The Rams and Eagles met once this season, which came back in Week 12. The Eagles won that game, 37-20, thanks to a historic effort from Saquon Barkley and his 302 total yards from scrimmage.
Even with Barkley going off for 255 yards rushing and two touchdowns, the Rams managed to keep the game close into the third quarter when they were trailing, 20-14. The Eagles pulled away after that, though, scoring 17 straight points before the Rams added a late, meaningless touchdown by Cooper Kupp from 27 yards out.
All of the attention is on the Vikings right now but a road game against the Eagles awaits the Rams if they can get by Minnesota.
