Saquon Barkley sprinted 60 yards for a touchdown on his first carry of the NFC championship game and the Eagles running back never looked back
Washington Commanders v Philadelphia Eagles / Emilee Chinn/GettyImages There's plenty of credit to go around for the Philadelphia Eagles' blowout win over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game;
Brown had a key block on Jalen Hurts’ 44-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and another on Saquon Barkley’s 78-yarder in the snow late in the game. With a back like Barkley, the Eagles’ receivers know their effort on the perimeter could be the difference between a nice run and a home run.
The electric Philadelphia running back is the biggest bargain in pro sports.
Barkley had a good chance at an iconic NFL record in the Eagles' season finale. He was exactly 100 yards behind Eric Dickerson's record of 2,105 yards, set in 1984. Barkley admitted he wanted a shot at it, but he went along with head coach Nick Sirianni's decision to rest all starters in Week 18.
Saquon Barkley dashed 60 yards for a touchdown on Philadelphia’s first play and finished with 118 yards and three scores, Jalen Hurts rushed for three TDs and the Eagles soared into the Super Bowl with a 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
Saquon Barkley is unsure himself why exactly over the final 30 yards of a 78-yard scoring burst through the playoff snow in a run that whipped Philadelphia Eagles fans out of their frigid state and into a frenzy he cradled the football in his left hand and repeatedly smacked his helmet with his right hand.
After a dominant 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders, the Philadelphia Eagles are heading to Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans. This marks their second trip to the Super Bowl in the past three seasons.
Saquon Barkley is already in the record books thanks to his illustrious debut for the Philadelphia Eagles, becoming just the ninth player in NFL history to eclipse 2,000 rushing yards in a season this year.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown looks enormous. Next to LeBron James, he's amusingly short. At least the Los Angeles Lakers legend recognized him, unlike some others.
