After watching the Washington Commanders slowly march down the field on the opening drive of the NFC Championship, settling for three after converting on multiple fourth downs, the Philadelphia Eagles needed to make a statement to show their rivals to the southwest that they mean business.
Jalen Hurts and coach Nick Sirianni are ready for a Super Bowl rematch with Patrick Mahomes and former Eagles coach Andy Reid.
The Philadelphia Eagles held off the Los Angeles Rams, and Nick Sirianni had a championship reaction to the Divisional Round win.
Verse ran his mouth last week, saying how much he hates Eagles fans. That stems from the way the Philadelphia faithful showed up to the Eagles-Rams game out West back in November. Hey, pal. That was a Rams home game. Eagles fans were doing their job traveling for their team and creating a great environment for the Birds on the road.
After Saquon Barkley's impressive performance and his team's subsequent qualification for the upcoming Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs, Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons made something clear about the Eagles' RB.
Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni explained all the elements of those long Saquon Barkley touchdown runs that might not be obvious.
Philly's stars combined for six rushing touchdowns and the Eagles forced four turnovers Sunday, ending Washington's dream run.
The Philadelphia Eagles, led by Saquon Barkley and Jalen Hurts, will aim to reach another Super Bowl, but to do so, they’ll have to defeat none other than the surprising Washington Commanders.
The difference in the outcome this year just might be Philadelphia's addition of 2,000-yard rusher Saquon Barkley. Barkley has turned the Eagles' run game from a concern for the opposition through the last decade to a downright fear. Fear that Barkley can score from anywhere. Fear that Barkley can shift momentum at any time.
The Eagles' primary back in '22 was Barkley's backfield partner at Penn State, Miles Sanders, who ran for almost 1,300 yards and 11 touchdowns that year to make the Pro Bowl. But what Barkley has done has been transformational for this offense. He needs only 30 yards to pass Terrell Davis for most rushing yards in a season, including playoffs.
Here’s hoping Schotty is more successful than most of his predecessors in Jerry’s great experiment. We’ll see. Like the rest, he’ll need a lot of luck. He’ll also need to be a lot better than his GM. The good news is it’s a low bar. That’s also the bad news.
