i didn't expect case keenum to go down and just riddle them first down, first down, first down.nd that is why that patrick robinson interception was so key, because it changed the momentum in a heartbeat because at that point keenum had, there it is, and keenun had all kind of success and confidence on that one drive and this changed the play, change the course. every game has a course of direction. >> rob is not only robbed it but ran for a touch down. >> yeah. >> how about the run, all right. he is setting up his>> with his. >> he is able to set u >> darby had that big block and able to put the ball up, a huge play and it changed the course of the jiz look at the adjustment jim schwartz made in that game theyt tortured case kobeum, tortureert within point in the game when eagles fans were doing the wow, they were saying foles, foles. >> yea >> instead of >> foles, foles. >> we will see you tomorroorrow. >> all week long, two weeks in a row. we put up video. >> foles, foles. >> then we were saying foles. >> i was like wow, look at surpe anthony, i thought he would be screaming,

i think case keenum is a better quarterback then nick foles.ir defense is probably just as good but eagles have a home team, better offensive line and their defense can force a turn over. >> they barely run that game. >> yes. >> and, you say be careful, maybe they will be too confident and they won't see what is coming. >> might be a let down but eagles have to guard against that because they have this whole under dog thing they are player off all week. it should be a great game. >> hey, jessica, do you see that? she wants me to wrap. >> yes. >> wrap. >> no, wrap. >> that is eytan's game. >> we have to t >>> it is like a dog pound. >> here's the thing oh, sh... >> i apologize for that. i lost all of the crab fries. >> sorry for the bad language. >> hopefully there is more where that came from. >> chicky and pete's folks, sorry. >> we don't care about what kind of dog it is, german shepherd or a dalmatian. >> i love this but what i really love is a shirt, and, and... >> and, it is later. >> yes. >> and, we will get. >> i love those masks. >> yes

before the championship game case keenum felt about the relationship that you guys have had.p until this point have you talked to him after the nfc championship game heading into the super bowl and what type of impact has he had on your career up to this point? >> case and i were together, we went to work every single day. we're both from texas. we knew of each other in college, obviously case had probably the gracest college career out of any quarterback. threw for a billion yards and tons of touchdowns, really impressive. but going to work with him every day and seeing his work ethic, a guy that no one gave a shot but i always believed him. i got to see him work first hand. nothing he's done this year surprised me. i'm really excited about what he's doing and his opportunity going forward. and it was fun obviously getting to compete against him in the nfc championship game. but his impact on me was just seeing his work ethic and how he grinded every single morning till night and just ache part of that -- being a part of that and to see him push through because there's no re

take a look at vikings quarterback, case keenum, he was nick foles' backup and he took over for nick. this is a chance of a lifetime for case. five interceptions this season on the road. 16 of his 22 sacks, on the road. here is eagle safety, robbie mccloud, he played with him with the ramps. >> he's in the lead for the reason and now he's been given opportunities and making the most of it. >> the vikings defense is best in the nfl giving up just 12 points her game now. on the road, their defense is giving up over 19 points per game. worst on the road. the vikings are really good stopping team s on third down. that's the key for the eagles to ged thi get third down. that's going to be tough. >> i think they are the best defense that we face this year. one of the reasons why is they can get pressured. we have a challenge in front of us to be able to put together drives and finding big plays in those drives and be smart with the football. >> how about former lowry, he's so pumped of a shot of the super bowl. he told me this is the kind of team that philly loves. >> we have the opportunit
