PHILADELPHIA -- Here is how the Philadelphia Eagles sum up their playoff future: "All we have is now. And, you better believe, now is all we need."

Hype Video Released

The Eagles wouldn't let Wild-Card Weekend go by without one of their famous hype videos.

The video, posted to the team's digital platforms Saturday afternoon, features the Eagles' ups and downs of the 2019 season - with some writing off the Birds midway through the regular season until their winning streak to bring them back to the NFL playoffs.

The video is narrated by FIFA Women's World Cup Champion Carli Lloyd of Delran, New Jersey. She posted the video to her Instagram account saying, "Now is all we need. Let's go @philadelphiaeagles."
