The Philadelphia Eagles soared towards the Super Bowl following their 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders at home during the NFC Championship match on Sunday.
The triumph concludes a robust season for the Eagles, boosted by quarterback Jalen Hurts and the acquisition of running back Saquon Barkley, who joined the team on a three-year contract as a free agent last March. By the heart of the final quarter, the Eagles had established a comfortable lead against the Commanders, ensuring their place in the Super Bowl.
At the Super Bowl, The Eagles will go head-to-head with either the Kansas City Chiefs or the Buffalo Bills, contingent upon the result of today’s AFC championship game, which starts at 6:30 p.m. Eastern Time on CBS.
With just three minutes left in the quarter, when the score hit 55-23, the Eagles’ players and coaches began celebrating, exchanging high-fives and dousing each other with Gatorade on the sidelines. This monumental 55 point score by the Eagles is the highest ever recorded in an AFC or NFC championship game, according to Fox Sports.
Or, more casually:
The clock was ticking down to the last three minutes of the quarter and the scoreboard read 55-23. Excited by their huge lead, Eagles’ players and coaches were already celebrating on the sidelines, splashing Gatorade all over each other. And as Fox Sports reported, this record-breaking 55 point score was the highest ever seen in a championship game between the AFC or NFC teams.
In 2023, the Eagles last played in the NFL’s championship match, losing to the Kansas City Chiefs 38-35. However, their most recent Super Bowl triumph was back in 2018, where they outplayed the New England Patriots with a thrilling 41-33 victory.
The Super Bowl for this year, number LIX, is set to occur on February 9th at New Orleans’ Superdome. Previously known for airing the Philadelphia-Washington matchup, Fox will also be responsible for broadcasting the NFL’s title game. This will mark the 11th occasion that the city of New Orleans has been selected as the host for the Super Bowl event.
