The 10-2 Eagles have a huge game on Sunday in Los Angeles against the 9-3 Rams. A win would all but secure a first-round bye for the Birds, while a loss would complicate things in the NFC standings.

Bryant says he believes the "character of this team is special, and that's what wins championships."
