Veteran Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz spent the first 8.5 seasons of his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles so it was a homecoming of sorts as those two teams squared off in the NFC championship game. Ertz was the Commanders' most productive receiver in the contest, hauling in 11 passes for 104 yards but that did little to make things competitive as the Eagles waltzed into the Super Bowl with a 55-24 victory.
The euphoric Lincoln Financial Field found time amid their postgame celebration to give Ertz a hero's send-off as he left the field disappointed.
