The severity of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts’ left knee injury is a major concern heading into Sunday’s NFC Championship Game at home against the Washington Commanders. Hurts, who practiced every day this week, told reporters on Friday that his knee is getting better, but he still plans on wearing a brace against the Commanders.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has ended a strange and unfortunate NFL streak after defeating the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship.

You play the game to win," Hurts told reporters after the Eagles defeated the Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game, setting up a Super Bowl rematch with the Kansas City Chiefs.

That's because Hurts completed 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown. He hit A.J. Brown on a beautifully thrown deep ball on 4th-and-5 from the Eagles' 45-yard line for 31 yards midway through the second quarter to the Commanders' 14-yard line.

For a second time in three years, the Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl bound. Forced turnovers during Sunday's 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders are a big reason why.  The Eagles parlayed four Commanders takeaways and one turnover on downs into 35 points.

Some Eagles players may have been surprised by the rule that would allow officials to award the Eagles points after multiple Washington penalties, but Sirianni wasn't.

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said he was revisiting his notebooks from the team's heartbreaking Super Bowl defeat to the Kansas City Chiefs two years ago, as he aims to avoid repeating history in New Orleans.

If the conference championships are any indication, some of the highest drama in the Super Bowl could come on the tush push.
