Four former Mountaineers are one step closer to reaching professional football's biggest stage while one suffered a season-ending loss in the Divisional Round.

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Najee Goode played two snaps on defense and 15 on special teams and recorded one tackle during the team's 15-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons Saturday.

Eagles rookie cornerback Rasul Douglas didn't see any snaps on defense, but played nine snaps on special teams and didn't record a statistic.

On the offensive side of the ball, Eagles rookie wide receiver Shelton Gibson didn't play a snap on offense, but was in on eight special teams plays and didn't record a statistic. Eagles running back Wendell Smallwood was inactive for Saturday's win, marking the seventh game this season in which he didn't dress.

The Eagles will face the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game Sunday at 6:40 p.m. The game will be televised on FOX.

Tennessee Titans offensive guard Quinton Spain started in his second career playoff game, but Tennessee's offensive line and the offensive unit as a whole struggled all game.

The Titans gained just 65 rushing yards and allowed quarterback Marcus Mariota to get sacked eight times during a 35-14 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday.

Spain finished his third NFL season with 14 starts in the regular season and two in the playoffs. He has started 33 games during his three-year NFL career and has played 35 games total.
