The quest for a championship ring starts on Saturday and as the NFL postseason opens, the Philadelphia Eagles are the No. 1 seed in the NFC for the first time since 2004, the year they last made a Super Bowl appearance.

The Eagles looked strong for most of the season, and Coach Doug Pederson saw his team win 13 games despite losing quarterback Carson Wentz to a season-ending knee injury in Week 14. Backup Nick Foles wasn't a disaster in relief but only completed 56 percent of his passes, producing 4.8 adjusted net yards per attempt, a tweak on yards per attempt that gives quarterbacks credit for throwing touchdowns and penalizes them for interceptions and sacks.
