Eagles vs. Commanders: A Familiar Face-Off in the NFC Championship

Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia, USASun Jan 26 2025
The Philadelphia Eagles are gearing up to host the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game. This isn't just any game—it's the final hurdle before the Super Bowl. The Eagles and Commanders have faced each other twice before this season, each winning once. The Commanders' recent victory in Week 16 was notable, as it was the game where Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was concussed, and cornerback C. J. Gardner-Johnson was ejected. Both teams acknowledge the challenge of playing an opponent so frequently, especially one from their own division. The Commanders have the advantage of experienced coaches and players to guide their rookie quarterback through the intense playoffs, but the Eagles are ready and focused. There have been some injury scares, but it looks like most players will be available. The Commanders will be a tough test, but at this stage, the Eagles are favored to win and return to the Super Bowl. Head coach Nick Sirianni has emphasized the lessons learned and challenges overcome since their last Super Bowl trip. Thisgame promises to be an exciting one, filled with familiar faces like Zach Ertz and Marcus Mariota on the Commanders' side.
