The Philadelphia Eagles have secured their spot in the NFC championship game, defeating the Los Angeles Rams at home in a snowy match. Next Sunday, they will face off against the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field. The matchup is expected to be a high-stakes battle between two division rivals.
Saquon Barkley, the star running back for the Eagles, has been instrumental in their postseason success so far, with 324 rushing yards and two touchdowns in his last two games. He will look to replicate his strong performance against Washington, which saw him rush for 296 yards and four touchdowns in a previous matchup.
However, the Commanders’ Jayden Daniels is also making a strong case, as he has led his team to their first NFC championship game since 1991. This year’s rookie quarterback is just the sixth to reach a conference championship game.
The Eagles are favored to win, but the Commanders have a real shot at taking down their division rivals. The score prediction: Eagles 30, Commanders 27.
