Eagles Advance Despite Hurts' Injury Concerns

The Philadelphia Eagles secured a spot in the NFC Championship after a narrow 28-22 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, despite challenging snowy conditions at Lincoln Financial Field. Saquon Barkley led the Eagles with a franchise playoff record of 205 rushing yards, including two long touchdown runs that maintained the lead. Quarterback Jalen Hurts suffered a knee injury in the third quarter, which limited his mobility and raised concerns over his availability for the upcoming game against the Washington Commanders. Defensive tackle Jalen Carter played a crucial role by securing a pivotal sack to thwart a late Rams comeback. The adverse weather conditions notably impacted the passing game, leading to a reliance on Barkley's ground performance. With the NFC Championship game approaching, the Eagles must consider their strategy regarding Hurts' participation, given his dual-threat importance to the team.
