The Philadelphia Eagles have secured their place in Super Bowl 59 following a commanding 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. This win marks the Eagles' second Super Bowl appearance in three years, showcasing their consistent performance in high-stakes situations.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts and running back Saquon Barkley played pivotal roles in establishing the Eagles' early lead, helping the team jump to a 14-3 advantage in the first quarter and a 27-15 lead at halftime. Their performance ensured that the Commanders struggled to close the gap throughout the second half, highlighting the Eagles' ability to execute their game plan effectively.

Hurts demonstrated impressive poise and skill despite battling a knee injury, completing 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards and one touchdown while maintaining possession of the ball. Additionally, Hurts found success on the ground, tallying three rushing touchdowns, a feat that propelled him to nine career postseason rushing touchdowns, thereby breaking the record for most rushing touchdowns by a quarterback in NFL history. Barkley also made a significant impact, starting the game with a 60-yard rushing touchdown and finishing with a total of 118 yards on 15 carries, along with three touchdowns. Together, they became the first pair of teammates in NFL history to each record three rushing touchdowns in the same playoff game.

While the Commanders managed to gain 350 total yards and 22 first downs, they were hampered by ball security issues that resulted in four turnovers, with a fumble occurring in each of the first three quarters of the game. This inability to protect the ball ultimately proved detrimental to their chances of success. With this win, the Eagles will now wait to face the winner of the upcoming AFC Championship Game between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs, with the goal of claiming their second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.
