Eagles, Chiefs Advance; Commanders' Season Ends

The Philadelphia Eagles secured their spot in Super Bowl 59 with a decisive 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders, highlighted by Saquon Barkley's outstanding performance, scoring three touchdowns. The Commanders, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, concluded a historic season with their first playoff win in 20 years. In the AFC, the Kansas City Chiefs narrowly defeated the Buffalo Bills 32-29 to continue their quest for a Super Bowl three-peat, with Patrick Mahomes contributing significantly with both his arm and legs. Historically, the Washington Commanders have been a formidable team, winning three Super Bowls under Joe Gibbs, the last being in 1992 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills endured a controversial and disappointing loss in Super Bowl XXVI, marked by a series of memorable mishaps including Thurman Thomas losing his helmet and Andre Reed's frustration penalty. Reflecting on NFL history, the Chicago Bears celebrated their Super Bowl XX victory in 1986, coinciding with the debut of the Discover Card.
