What you should knowThe Eagles will host the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game at the Linc on Sunday at 3 p.m. on Fox. The winner will move on to Super Bowl LIX.Two Eagles starters who didn't practice Thursday — Dallas Goedert (ankle) and Cam Jurgens (back) — returned on Friday.

“It was fun to be out there and see the confetti and things you envision, but the most special thing about it was being out there with my family,” Barkley said. “I know I’ve never been there, but I’ve been there so many times in my head.” This, the celebration, the shot at a Super Bowl, was why Barkley signed with the Eagles, he said.

The Philadelphia Eagles cruised past the Washington Commanders in Sunday's NFC Championship after an outstanding Saquon Barkley performance that instigated an exchange between Dez Bryant and Kayvon Thibodeaux.

The Eagles returned to the practice field at the NovaCare Complex, and the team had tight end Dallas Goedert and center Cam Jurgens both miss with injuries. The Eagles held a walkthrough on Wednesday before Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at Lincoln Financial Field, and both players were out.

The Eagles' primary back in '22 was Barkley's backfield partner at Penn State, Miles Sanders, who ran for almost 1,300 yards and 11 touchdowns that year to make the Pro Bowl. But what Barkley has done has been transformational for this offense. He needs only 30 yards to pass Terrell Davis for most rushing yards in a season, including playoffs.

When Corey Clement met Saquon Barkley, he noticed something in his eyes. It was Dec. 3, 2016, and the two running backs were facing off in the Big Ten championship game. Barkley was playing for Penn State and Clement was playing for Wisconsin.

Devin McCourty and Tony Dungy dissect the formula Philadelphia has put together en route to their second Super Bowl appearance in three years and how the presence of Saquon Barkley has sparked "brotherhood" in this team.

After Saquon Barkley’s first practice with the Eagles in OTAs, something struck him. He looked around the huddle and saw A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, Jalen Hurts and the best offensive line in football.

From Whitehall High School to the NFL, teammates of Saquon Barkley are left in awe of his ability and motivated by his selflessness.

Saquon Barkley continues his stellar debut season for the Eagles with three rushing scores to propel Philadelphia past Washington and into the Super Bowl.
