The Philadelphia Eagles are headed back to the NFC Championship Game, marking their second appearance in three seasons. On Sunday, they triumphed over the Los Angeles Rams in snowy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field, securing a hardfought 2822 victory.
Eagles Dominate on the Ground
Philadelphia's potent rushing attack, which ranked second in the NFL during the regular season, proved pivotal in the divisionalround clash. Saquon Barkley once again showcased his brilliance, rushing for 205 yards and two touchdowns on 26 carries. As a team, the Eagles tallied 285 rushing yards and three scores, averaging an impressive 8.4 yards per attempt.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts was efficient despite limited passing opportunities and facing constant pressure. He completed 15 of 20 passes for 128 yards while being sacked six times.
Late Drama at Lincoln Financial Field
Despite holding a 13 point lead with just over four minutes remaining, the Eagles had to fend off a late surge from the Rams. Los Angeles scored a quick touchdown and forced a punt to stay in the game. The Rams managed to drive down to Philadelphia's 13yard line, but the Eagles' defense held firm, forcing a turnover on downs to seal the victory.
With this win, the Eagles will host their NFC East rivals, the Washington Commanders, in the conference championship after Washington defeated the Detroit Lions on Saturday night.
