It wasn’t clean football. It wasn’t dry football. But the Philadelphia Eagles were able to win against the Rams and advance to the NFC Championship Game in a slick snow game. Injuries to Jalen Hurts and Quinyon Mitchell are not considered long-term issues, the Eagles will host the Commanders next Sunday at The Linc, and those are reasons to celebrate.
As the snow fell and the Eagles secured their victory with just over a minute to play, the players were energetic in their celebrations from the sidelines to the locker room.
3 straight Conference Championships….. GOD!

And honorable mention to the defense that made snow angels in the end zone earlier in the fourth quarter.
The Eagles received a lot of love throughout the game from Philly alumni and other players around the league as well. Everyone was in awe of Saquon Barkley and everything he does with the football in his hands.
So proud of this boy!!! Since day one, the worst thing I’ve seen put on crampons is on my soul @saquon

So happy for Saquan, such a good guy
Weird athlete
While he was rehabbing his ACL, he wanted to race one of the specialists to see where his speed was at (field kicker plays).
