The NFL Playoffs are continuing on Sunday afternoon as several former Florida State Seminole players are trying to advance their respective teams deeper as they hope to accomplish a Super Bowl Trophy.

The NFC Divisional Playoff Game will be featuring the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles at 3 PM EST on NBC/Peacock. The Rams are coming off an upset loss win over the Minnesota Vikings after having to play in Arizona due to the California wildfires. While the Eagles defeated another NFC North foe the Green Bay Packers.

Florida State's fan base should have a tremendous time watching this one as five former Seminole players will be featured in the matchup:

-Jared Verse (Rams)

-Braden Fiske (Rams)

-Keir Thomas (Rams)

-Josh Sweat (Eagles)

-Johnny Wilson (Eagles)

Verse and Fiske will be two players who will get a ton of attention since both of them are in consideration for NFL Rookie of the Year honors. During NFL Draft night, individuals thought that the Rams would have been in rebuild mode after legendary defensive lineman Aaron Donald retired.

However, the former Seminoles showed that the Rams made the necessary selection and have been balling out this season. Fiske recorded 44 tackles with 8.5 sacks in the regular season, while Verse had 66 tackles and 4.5 sacks. Let's not forget that Keir Thomas had three tackles during the year.

With the Eagles, former Florida State defensive lineman Josh Sweat had 41 tackles and 8 sacks while wide receiver Johnny Wilson had 5 receptions for 38 yards and one touchdown.

Get your popcorn ready, Seminole fans! It should be a great game for the former Seminole players to show off their talents!
