PHILADELPHIA — Saquon Barkley showcased his extraordinary talent with two stunning touchdown runs of 78 and 62 yards, leading the Philadelphia Eagles to a hard-fought 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC divisional playoff. Barkley rushed for a total of 205 yards, while Jalen Hurts contributed with a 44-yard touchdown run, helping the Eagles secure a spot in the NFC Championship Game for the second time in three years.
The Eagles will host the Washington Commanders next Sunday after Washington upset the top-seeded Detroit Lions. Barkley's performance was complemented by a spirited Eagles defense that thrived in the snowy conditions, forcing multiple turnovers and celebrating with playful snow angels in the end zone. Despite a few missed extra points by Jake Elliott, the Eagles managed to hold off the Rams, who threatened to pull off an upset in the final minutes.
