After watching the Washington Commanders slowly march down the field on the opening drive of the NFC Championship, settling for three after converting on multiple fourth downs, the Philadelphia Eagles needed to make a statement to show their rivals to the southwest that they mean business.
Shawn Hochuli raised a few eyebrows Sunday when he turned his microphone on and announced to the football-watching world that he was on the verge of awarding the Eagles points due to repeated offsides fouls from the Washington Commanders.
Nick Sirianni gave a powerful message about quarterback Jalen Hurts after the Philadelphia Eagles NFC championship game win.

Saquon Barkley dashed 60 yards for a touchdown on Philadelphia's first play and finished with 118 yards and three scores, Jalen Hurts rushed for three TDs and the Eagles soared into the Super Bowl with a 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
Philly's stars combined for six rushing touchdowns and the Eagles forced four turnovers Sunday, ending Washington's dream run.
