Stefanis POV - 2 Hours before the NFC Championship
The Eagles had finished with the #1 seed, giving them a week off and some extra time to rest and recover for playoffs, where they trounced the Atlanta Falcons, 41-17, Bradleys return game was impeccable, 25/28 passes completed, 412yds, 5 TD's, It was proving his MVP case even stronger now even though he had it in the bag long ago.
Today was the day of the NFC Championship, The Linc was all fired up since this was kind of a revenge game of sorts, The Arizona Cardinals beat us back in the 2008 NFC Championship and this was our first playoff game against them since.
"How the fuck does that midget Kyler Murray and that mid ass team make an Conference Title game" Saquon burst out laughing as he walked over to Bradleys locker, where I sat next to him, jabbing his knee with enough painkillers to get him through the game.
"Hey, Its better than us having to play Detroit or some team like that" Bradley smiled at me, "We can just shit on this team and get into the Super Bowl"
"That is true" Saquon muttered, smirking a little, "Might as well start the preparation already"
"Have you all not been watching them during playoffs, They switch on and I mean it" Cooper DeJean told me, "Kyler Murray's throwing at 90% and Marvin Harrison's caught 9 TD's just in the playoffs, They beat the Lions for gods sake"
"Dont worry, Our defense is the best in the league, We'll be fine" Bradley laughed a little, before grabbing his helmet out of his locker.

Bradleys POV
I felt so confident as I ran out onto the field, Tens of thousands of fans cheering us on, Hopefully having come to watch us go to the Super Bowl, I watched on as the Cardinals practiced and Kyler Murray was looking better than he usually was, but I was still confident that we had the upper hand, having the #1 offense and #1 defense in the league.
I had a few tricks up my sleeve in the playbook, which I named Silver Linings during playoffs, so the other team didnt know what we were talking about, They just thought we were quoting some movie about mentally unstable Eagles fans, Also didnt help that all the plays had been named after famous movie lines, apart from the Tush Push and the very famous Philly Special, the play I ran back in Super Bowl 52 that basically won us the game, You could never, ever change that.
Kickoff was not long after I got onto the field, We chose to receive first and I could tell things were about to start going our way when we returned the kickoff for 48 yards, setting us up in great field position.
"Show Me The Money" was what I yelled out, A line from Jerry Maguire which really meant I was putting Saquon on a hot route and my two wide-outs were going long, I loved throwing a good, long ball into the endzone, It was a good confidence booster at the start of a big game.
The ball was snapped to me, A.J and DeVonta took off and by the time they were both at the 20yd line, I launched the ball, throwing a perfect spiral, like it could not get any better than that and hitting DeVonta on the chest, letting him run it into the endzone as I started cheering, We were now up 7-0.
Being on the sidelines was almost as fun as being on the field, We just talked shit, A 50 Cent song came on over the speakers and we just randomly went from talking about A.J's bachelor party to the times when we went to his concert when we were all younger.
Arizona were done in only 4 plays, letting us take the field again and most the game wound up being like this, Kyler Murray had a shocker and I played one of the best games of my career, After throwing my 7th touchdown of the game, I walked up to one of the D-Lineman, holding up 7 fingers in his face "Thats 7" I smirked.
