Luck hasn't been on the side of the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship since the turn of the century.
Since the 2000 NFC Championship, when the Vikings lost 41-0 to the New York Giants, the Eagles and Vikings have a combined 1-5 record when a trip to the Super Bowl is on the line.
One of the two franchises will turn around their struggles on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, and the winner will do so with a backup quarterback at the helm.
Although quarterbacks Case Keenum and Nick Foles played well in the divisional round, there's a good chance the victor will benefit from a strong defensive performance with the signal caller playing a complementary role.
