Philadelphia Eagles v Los Angeles Rams

The Philadelphia Eagles hosted the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship round. This was the third time these two teams squared off this year. They split the regular season matchups but the Eagles easily defeated Washington in the NFC Championship game 55-23.

Eagles Set Multiple Records In Historic NFC Championship Game Win

Philly ran all over Washington in both games during the season and did so again in the NFC Championship game. The Eagles had 229 total rushing yards. Saquon Barkley had 118 rushing yards and three rushing TDs, including a 60-yard touchdown run on Philadelphia’s first play from scrimmage. Will Shipley had 77 rushing yards on just four carries and had a rushing TD.

Despite a banged-up left knee, Jalen Hurts had 16 rushing yards and three rushing TDs. That brings his total to nine postseason rushing touchdowns, passing Steve Young for the most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history. In total, Philadelphia scored seven rushing TDs in the game, a postseason record in the Super Bowl era. The team’s 55-point performance was the highest-scoring

Hurts also had 246 passing yards and one passing TD. A.J. Brown had a big game, recording six catches, 96 receiving yards, and one receiving TD.

The defense caused four turnovers and sacked Jayden Daniels three times. Daniels threw a pick. Dyami Brown and Austin Ekeler each lost a fumble.

The Eagles will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Eagles To Represent NFC In The Super Bowl

The Eagles will be in the Super Bowl as they try to stop Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs from winning three straight Super Bowls.

Philly will face a challenging task, but they have the formula to defeat Mahomes. With an excellent run game and a strong defense, the Eagles have the recipe.

The Philadelphia Eagles can not forget what brought them to the Super Bowl. Running the ball and attacking opposing quarterbacks has been a major strength for Philly this year.

Saquon Barkley has been nearly unstoppable, and the Philadelphia Eagles need to lean heavily on him against the Chiefs. Kansas City is a bit weak against the run, and the Eagles, with a strong offensive line, can take advantage of this.

This will be a great game as the Philadelphia Eagles try to win the Super Bowl and stop the Chiefs from three-peating.
