Any Arizona Cardinals fan could tell you that one of the best days of their life was the 2008 NFC Championship matchup between these two teams.

While the Arizona Cardinals NFC Championship appearance will never be forgotten, it has been followed up with some crazy games since then. They may not always be the most significant, but they for the most part have been entertaining.

As former division rivals in the NFC east, Arizona leads the series, 59-57-5 all time. The NFC championship did a lot to stoke the fire between these two teams, but that sure did continue over the next six meetings between the two. Even so much that a particular infamous Eagles fan would go on a NSFW rant about (if interested, click here for the NSFW rant) the results of each game.

From blowouts to close games, to famous block-shedding touchdowns, to deep ball late-game heroics, this series has been fun to watch over time. Both parties are treated to another matchup on Sunday, featuring two high profile quarterbacks between Kyler Murray and Jalen Hurts.

Which group of birds will fly higher than the other this week? Before we do, let’s get into their six previous battles since that NFC championship bout.
