The NFC championship game Sunday between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders is the third matchup of the season between the division rivals.
Saquon Barkley dashed 60 yards for a touchdown on Philadelphia’s first play and finished with 118 yards and three scores.
Before Sunday the Bills were the only team ever to surpass 50 points in a conference title game, beating the Raiders 51-3 to punch their ticket to the Super Bowl in January of 1991. The Eagles now hold the record, blowing past the Panthers who beat the Cardinals 49-15 in January of 2016, giving them the previous NFC record.
Jayden Daniels ran out of time to rally for one more can-you-believe-it comeback. The rookie quarterback who led the Washington Commanders to six consecutive victories entering the NFC championship game had won the first five on the final play of scrimmage.
The Eagles scored eight touchdowns and reached the Super Bowl for the fifth time in team history and the second time in three seasons.
Saquon Barkley scored on the Eagles’ first play from scrimmage and added two more touchdowns as Philadelphia rolled to a 55-23 victory over the Commanders. The Eagles will play either the Buffalo Bills or Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 next month in the Superdome in New Orleans.
