In a snowy showdown, Saquon Barkley powered the Philadelphia Eagles to a 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, securing a spot in the NFC Championship game. Barkley rushed for 205 yards, featuring touchdowns of 62 and a stunning 78 yards, while Jalen Hurts contributed with a 44-yard scoring run. The Eagles will host the Commanders next week after a close contest that saw the Rams threaten late with Matthew Stafford's 324 passing yards but ultimately succumb to the Eagles' defense.
Barkley's explosive runs were pivotal, as he showcased his ability to navigate the harsh conditions. Despite a rough third quarter for Hurts, who was sacked seven times and wore a knee brace, the Eagles held on thanks to a series of Rams turnovers. The Eagles' defense celebrated the wins with snow angels amidst the wintery chaos, embodying the true spirit of playoff football.
