Don't let the cold weather keep you from showing up for one of the many exciting events happening in the Philadelphia region this weekend.
We're talking playoff football headlined by yours truly, the Philadelphia Eagles, Haddonfield's Winterfest and Souper Bowl Saturday, Animal Crossing at the Camden aquarium, a special alcohol-free wellness festival in the city, Dancing With The Stars live on tour and more. Plus it's the final weekend for the Philadelphia Auto Show, Peddler's Village Fire & Frost Fun and "MJ the Musical."
Ready for another chilly weekend in Philly? We sure are. The region is buzzing with festivals in the city and suburbs, to playoff games and performances by A-list celebrities.
Eagles vs. Rams Divisional Round at the Linc
Most Eagles fans will agree that football is meant to be played in the snow. The element only elevates the play on the gridiron, forging men into legends – just ask LeSean McCoy. On Sunday, fans may be blessed with the magic of playoff football in the snow as the Philadelphia Eagles host the Los Angeles Rams. Our NEXT Weather Team is following the weekend's forecast so you can prepare for Sunday's 3 p.m. game.
The Eagles enter the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs slightly short-handed. Linebacker Nakobe Dean was ruled out for the rest of the postseason after sustaining a knee injury during the Eagles' 22-10 win against the Green Bay Packers. Legacy linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. is set to fill that void with special teams standout Oren Burks.
The Rams put on a defensive clinic in their Wildcard game against the Minnesota Vikings, posting 9 sacks which led to a 27-9 victory. They will be coming to a potentially snowy Lincoln Financial Field – something QB Matthew Stafford is no stranger to. Stafford was the Detroit Lions QB when they played in the Snow Bowl back in 2013.
Tickets start at $200 on Ticketmaster. And after recent comments made by Rams rookie Jared Verse, fans may be a little more "inspired" to sell out the Linc.
The Rams have played inspired football as wildfires devastate the Los Angeles area. CBS News Philadelphia has compiled a list of resources online for those interested in helping those impacted by the wildfires.
