Early weather forecast for Eagles-Rams playoff game could be great news for Philly

As a team that plays in Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia Eagles are used to having to deal with the elements: Rain, snow, sleet, wind, hail. Whatever it is, the Eagles (and their fans) have dealt with it. The Los Angeles Rams, on the other hand, play in a domed stadium in sunny California, and thus are not as accustomed to dealing with weather. So, the early weather forecast for the Divisional Round matchup between the two teams could be great news for the Eagles, and not such great news for the Rams. According to NFLweather.com -- and other various weather reports -- the Philadelphia area is expected to be hit with rain, snow, wind and freezing temperatures on Sunday when the game takes place. The teams will have to deal with Northwest winds blowing up to nine miles per hour and a kickoff temperature that will feel below freezing. That temperature is expected to drop over the course of the contest, while the projected rainfall could potentially morph into snow. In other words, it's going to be ugly out there.
