Philadelphia Eagles' star running back, Saquon Barkley, made a significant impact in the NFC championship game against the Washington Commanders, leading his team to a resounding 55-23 victory and securing a spot in the Super Bowl. Barkley consulted with his family before making the decision to leave the Giants and sign with the Eagles, a move that proved to be the right one as he contributed 118 yards and three touchdowns in the game.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts also played a crucial role in the Eagles' victory, rushing for three touchdowns and throwing for 246 yards and a touchdown pass. The Eagles' offense was firing on all cylinders, scoring a season-high 55 points, the most in a conference championship game since the 1970 merger.
