Eagles Defeat Rams, Advance to NFC Championship

The Philadelphia Eagles advanced to the NFC Championship game with a 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, powered by Saquon Barkley's 205 rushing yards and two touchdowns in snowy conditions. Jalen Hurts contributed with a 44-yard scoring run, while the Eagles' defense, led by Jalen Carter, was crucial in securing the win by forcing turnovers and pivotal stops, including a critical sack on Matthew Stafford's last drive. Despite a resilient Rams comeback attempt, highlighted by Stafford's 324 passing yards, the Eagles held firm, helped by two missed extra points by their kicker Jake Elliott. The Eagles will host the Washington Commanders next, as they aim for their second NFC Championship appearance in three seasons. The game was marked by challenging weather conditions that influenced gameplay but ultimately added to the Philadelphia fans' celebratory atmosphere.
