This will be the fourth postseason meeting between the Packers and Eagles. Green Bay won their most recent playoff clash, a 21-16 victory in Philadelphia during the 2010 Wild Card round, a season that ended with the Packers hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

The Eagles claimed victory in their two other postseason encounters: an overtime thriller in the 2003 divisional round and the 1960 NFL Championship Game, a contest etched in history as Vince Lombardi's only playoff loss as the Packers' head coach.

With the stakes higher than ever, fans can expect an intense matchup as the Packers look to extend their postseason journey and the Eagles aim to continue their dominant run.
