Philadelphia heads back to the Super Bowl as they dismantled the Commanders 55-23. Three costly fumbles helped lead the Eagles to a decisive victory. The one late by Austin Ekeler felt like it sealed the Commanders fate.
–Jayden Daniels was only sacked three times but was under constant pressure all game long and went 29/48 for 255 yards and a TD.
–Terry McLaurin caught a TD pass in the first half, but Quinyon Mitchell’s tight coverage held him to only three receptions.
–Brian Robinson, Jr. and Austin Ekeler were only able to run for 51 yards on 19 carries as Philadelphia bottled up the Commanders from an effective run game.
–Jalen Hurts looked more comfortable throwing the ball than he has in weeks.
–Marshon Lattimore could not shut down A.J. Brown in the least, as Brown made huge catches on critical third and long situations.
–Dallas Goedert continued his stellar play, catching 7 passes for 85 yards, and was Hurts’ go-to target in the second half.
–Saquon Barkley averaged 7.9 yards per carry and ran for 118 yards and 3 TDs, including a 60-yarder, which set the tone in the beginning of the game.
