Eagles rout Commanders in NFC championship game, advance to Super Bowl 59: Highlights

Show Caption

The Philadelphia Eagles are going to the Super Bowl for the second time in three years after earning a 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders in the 2025 NFC championship game.

Philadelphia's offense was firing on all cylinders during their blowout win. Saquon Barkley was predictably the driving force of the Eagles' offensive success, taking his first carry of the game 60 yards for a touchdown and racking up 118 rushing yards and three scores on the day.

Jalen Hurts also enjoyed his best game of the playoffs to date. Despite dealing with a knee injury and uncertainty at center with both Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson banged up, Hurts was efficient through the air. He completed 20 of 28 passes for 246 yards and a touchdown while getting A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert involved early and often in the contest.

On the ground, Hurts didn't have his same typical level of mobility. Still, he found a way to impact the game with his legs, logging a nine-yard touchdown run on a designed quarterback draw and continuing to operate the "Tush Push" with high-end success. He finished the day with 16 yards on 10 carries but, like Barkley, scored on the ground three times.

Washington struggled to keep pace with Philadelphia's offense despite another solid effort from Jayden Daniels. The rookie led the Commanders in passing (255 yards) and rushing (48) but saw his supporting cast let him down at key moments throughout the game.

The Commanders lost the turnover battle to the Eagles 4-0. Daniels was responsible for one – a fourth quarter interception that occurred with Washington trailing by 25 points – but the team's three fumbles were what ultimately undid them.

Dyami Brown, Jeremy McNichols and Austin Ekeler all put the ball on the ground. The Eagles recovered each fumble and turned them into seven points apiece. That allowed Philadelphia to pull away from Washington, especially McNichols' late first-half gaffe, which allowed the Eagles to build a 15-point lead they would never relinquish.

As a result, Philadelphia won the rubber match between the NFC East rivals. The Eagles will now look to win their second Super Bowl in franchise history while the Commanders head into the offseason looking to fortify a roster that surprisingly made an NFC championship game run.

Paste BN Sports provided live updates, highlights and more from Sunday's Eagles vs. Commanders NFC championship game below. All times are Eastern.

Eagles vs. Commanders NFC championship game highlights

Will Shipley gets in on rushing fun, scores first career touchdown

The Shipley has not sailed just yet.

The Eagles running back put another rushing TD in the ledger, the seventh of the day for Philadelphia.

Saquon Barkley hits pay dirt for third TD of game

This Saquon guy is pretty good.

The Eagles running back scored a very early dagger on the Commanders, with a four-yard TD run to put the Commanders up 47-23. Elliott would nail the extra point to give the Eagles a 25-point lead with 7:48 left.

Nolan Smith sacks Jayden Daniels on fourth-and-12 to create turnover on downs

Daniels was sacked once combined in his first two playoff games. The Eagles brought him down behind the line for a third time on fourth-and-12 to create a turnover on downs.

The Eagles maintain a 41-23 lead with 10:19 left in regulation.

Jayden Daniels completes fourth-down pass to Zach Ertz

The Commanders are effectively in do-or-die mode down 18 in the fourth quarter, so they went for it on a fourth-and-6 from their own 34-yard line. Daniels found Ertz for a first down while the Commanders tight end recorded his ninth catch of the day.

Tom Brady praises Nick Foles for Philly Special

Nick Foles is in attendance at the Eagles vs. Commanders game. So is Fox analyst Tom Brady, who Foles' Eagles defeated in Super Bowl 52.

Brady cracked a joke about his relationship with Foles during the broadcast, referencing that Brady failed to catch the lone pass thrown to him during Super Bowl 52.

"Nick, I don't hate you," Brady said. "I'm jealous of you! You caught it, I didn't!"

Jalen Hurts punches in 1-yard TD run to extend lead back to 18

After three consecutive encroachment calls on the Commanders, the Eagles finally snapped the ball to Hurts. He was ushered over the goal line on the tush push to extend Philadelphia's lead to 41-23.

Washington will have 12:24 left to make up the three-score deficit.

Frankie Luvu jumps over Eagles O-Line twice on 1-yard line

The Commanders are trying to stop the tush push by any means necessary. The result? Luvu jumped over the Eagles' offensive line twice on the 1-yard line.

The issue? The ball hadn't been snapped. As a result, the Commanders were warned of a potential unsportsmanlike conduct and were later informed that the officials can award a score if they continue to take those actions.

Eagles recover third Commanders fumble after Austin Ekeler has ball punched out

The Commanders put the ball on the turf for the third time of the day at the end of the third quarter. Ekeler had the ball punched out of his hands after making a quick catch and the Eagles pounced on it.

Philadelphia now has the ball in good field position with an 11-point lead entering the fourth quarter.

Frankie Luvu blitz, tackle for loss on third down forces Eagles punt

The Eagles were facing a third-and-5 on the cusp of field goal range when Nick Sirianni and Kellen Moore dialed up a running play. Frankie Luvu sniffed it out and perfectly timed a blitz that allowed him to tackle Saquon Barkley for a 3-yard loss.

As a result, Philadelphia was forced to punt rather than going for it on fourth-and-8. The ball went into the end-zone for a touchback, giving Washington a chance to cut their deficit to one score.

Kenneth Gainwell injury update

The Eagles are down Gainwell, their backup running back and kick returner, for the rest of the game. He has been ruled out with a concussion.

Will Shipley will now serve as the backup behind Saquon Barkley.

Commanders fourth quarter comebacks

One of the reasons Washington earned the "Cardiac Commanders" nickname is the team's penchant for making improbable comebacks. In 19 games this season, Jayden Daniels has logged five fourth quarter comebackers and game-winning drives.

Washington is still down by 11 points, but this stat could become important as the game continues.

Jayden Daniels scores 10-yard touchdown on speed option run

Daniels continues to be a big-time playmaker for the Commanders. On a third-and-1 in the red-zone, Daniels cut a speed option run to the middle of the field. He found a lane and scampered through it with ease to get the score.

The Commanders went for 2 after the touchdown and converted on a Daniels pass to Olamide Zaccheaus. Washington is now trailing 34-23 with 5:01 left in the third quarter.

Jalen Hurts stats today

Hurts was subject to criticism after lackluster performances in each of the Eagles' first two playoff games. He is having a much better game thus far in the NFC championship game.

Hurts has completed 16 of 22 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown while adding 15 yards and two scores on the ground. The Eagles have 34 points on the board with just under 9 minutes left in the third quarter thanks, in part, to Hurts' strong performance.

Jalen Hurts runs for 9-yard touchdown, extending Eagles lead to 34-15

Any concerns about Jalen Hurts' knee have been put to bed on Sunday. The Eagles quarterback has now run for two touchdowns, the second of which came on a designed QB draw on Philadelphia's second drive of the half.

Jake Elliott makes the extra point and the Eagles' lead is now 19 points.

Eagles defense responds, forcing three-and-out thanks to Jordan Davis sack

The Commanders' first second-half drive went similarly to the Eagles' first drive. Washington ran for a short gain on first down before Jordan Davis picked up a key sack of Jayden Daniels to a force a third-and-20.

Washington stalled out and this time, Tress Way didn't fake the punt. He sent it 45 yards to the Eagles 32-yard line before Cooper DeJean returned it 10 yards to the 42.

Eagles go three-and-out to start second half after sacking Jalen Hurts

Hurts continues to struggle when pressured. He started the half by trying to outrun Washington's defense to the sideline before being pushed out for a loss. He then took a sack on second down to put the Eagles well behind the chains, eventually forcing the team into a punting situation.

Braden Mann uncorked the first punt of the afternoon for either side. It traveled 43 yards with no return, as Jayden Daniels and Co. will start the second half from their own 26-yard line.

Cam Jurgens playing center to start second half with Landon Dickerson injured

The Eagles are making a change their offensive line to open the second half. Jurgens, the team's normal starting center, is back into the lineup after sitting the first half with a back injury. Landon Dickerson, who had played in his place and normally starts at left guard, is on the sideline with a knee injury.

Eagles halftime stats vs. Commanders in NFC championship game

The Eagles couldn't have asked for a much better half offensively. The team capitalized on two Washington turnovers, turning both into touchdowns, and saw both Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley perform well in a favorable defensive matchup.

Defensively, the Eagles limited the Commanders as best as they could and the lone special teams blemish was a missed 54-yarder by Jake Elliott.

Below is a look at the notable first-half stats for Philadelphia:

  • Jalen Hurts: 12-of-18 passing, 141 passing yards, 1 TD, 6 carries, 8 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD
  • Saquon Barkley: 9 carries, 85 rushing yards, 2 rushing TDs, 1 catch, 4 receiving yards
  • A.J. Brown: 4 catches, 61 yards, 1 TD
  • Dallas Goedert: 3 catches, 32 yards
  • Zack Baun: 10 tackles, 1 forced fumble

Commanders halftime stats vs. Eagles in NFC championship game

The Commanders enjoyed a solid first half, generating a respectable 214 yards and 15 points against a top-tier Eagles defense. However, two turnovers that led to 14 Eagles points undid their efforts, to create a 12-point deficit to overcome.

Below is a look at the notable first-half stats for Washington:

  • Jayden Daniels: 15-of-24 passing, 139 passing yards, 1 TD, 4 carries, 31 rushing yards
  • Brian Robinson: 7 carries, 22 yards
  • Terry McLaurin: 2 catches, 43 yards, 1 TD
  • Zach Ertz: 5 catches, 34 yards
  • Frankie Luvu: 3 tackles, 1 sack

Eagles lead Commanders 27-15 at halftime

Jayden Daniels led an impressive quick drive to end the half and got Washington into field goal range. Zane Gonzalez made the 42-yard attempt to cut Philadelphia's lead to 12 points.

That silver lining helped atone for a late first-half situation during which things unraveled for Washington. Philadelphia got a touchdown thanks to a Marshon Lattimore pass interference penalty and on the ensuing kickoff, Jeremy McNichols fumbled the ball back to the Eagles.

As a result, the Eagles built a double-digit advantage that they took into halftime. Philadelphia is set to get the ball after halftime too, so their 12-point halftime lead may be difficult for Jayden Daniels and Co. to overcome.

The Eagles are only outgaining the Commanders 233-214, but the story of the game has been turnovers. Philadelphia forced two in the first half and turned them into 14 points. Washington didn't force any.

If not for a missed Jake Elliott field goal, the damage could have been worse for the Eagles. Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley will look to continue their success through the air and on the ground in the second half once they get the ball.

Jalen Hurts finds AJ Brown for touchdown to capitalize on Commanders turnover

The Eagles have now scored touchdowns on back-to-back drives that were sandwiched by Jeremy McNichols' kick return fumble. Hurts found Brown on an out-breaking route on third-and-goal and the veteran managed to reel it in and get his feet down for the score.

Jake Elliott makes the extra point and the Eagles have a 15-point lead with just 39 seconds left in the half.

Mikey Sainristil whistled for unnecessary roughness, extending Eagles drive

The Commanders were on the verge of getting off the field and forcing an Eagles field goal when Sainristil hit Saquon Barkley just as the running back was going out of bounds. The officials ruled Barkley was hit late on the play, though his foot hadn't yet hit out of bounds at the time of the penalty.

Regardless, the call set up a first-and-goal for the Eagles with less than a minute left in the first half.

Jeremy McNichols fumbles kick return, Eagles recover

Washington has now committed two uncharacteristic turnovers in the NFC championship game. The second came on a kick return, when third-string running back Jeremy McNichols was leveled by third-string Eagles running back Will Shipley and lost the ball.

Eagles backup running back Kenneth Gainwell jumped on the ball and gave the Eagles the ball back, leading 20-12 with 1:36 left in the first half.

Jalen Hurts powers in 1-yard touchdown to extend Eagles' lead

The Eagles capitalized on Marshon Lattimore's pass interference call. Hurts took the first-and-goal carry and pounded it up the middle tush-push style to extend Philly's lead.

Lattimore was called for a penalty during a skirmish after the play with Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown. As a result, the Eagles went for two, but Washington was able to stop Hurts on another tush push carry. Philadelphia's lead remains at 8 as a result.

Marshon Lattimore called for pass interference, setting up Eagles goal-to-go opportunity

The Commanders brought pressure on Jalen Hurst on a third-and-13 but the quarterback managed to escape it and throw the ball on the run to DeVonta Smith. The receiver wasn't able to reel in the pass, but Lattimore was called for pass interference after grabbing Smith several times near the end of the play.

That set the Eagles up with a goal-to-go opportunity from the 1-yard line.

Jalen Hurts completes 31-yard pass to AJ Brown on fourth-and-5

The Eagles decided to be aggressive on fourth down, much like the Commanders were early in the game. On fourth-and-5, Washington brought a blitz, but Hurts had just enough time to feather a downfield pass to Brown, who beat Marshon Lattimore on the play.

The throw hit Brown perfectly on the hands and set the Eagles up at the Washington 14-yard line as the two-minute warning arrived.

Landon Dickerson injury update

Dickerson moved over to center today to start in place of Cam Jurgens. He is now dealing with a left knee injury and wearing a knee brace.

Dickerson has remained in the game at center, but his efficacy will bear watching as the game continues.

Terry McLaurin turns quick slant catch into 36-yard TD

Jayden Daniels found McLaurin on short pass on third-and-3 and the Commanders' No. 1 receiver turned the catch into a big gain. He ran across the field and through a couple of tackles before bulling his way into the end zone.

The Commanders went for two, but Austin Ekeler was tackled behind the line after catching a quick pass. As a result, Philadelphia maintains a 14-12 lead, though Jake Elliott's missed field goal proved costly.

Jake Elliott stats

Elliott endured a rocky year for the Eagles. He made just 28 of 36 field goal attempts during the 2024 regular season. His 77.8% conversion rate was the second-lowest of his career, and he made just 1 of 7 kicks from 50-plus yards during the season.

Elliott had been 6 of 6 in the postseason before his miss against the Commanders. The push right was his first missed postseason field goal in 23 attempts.

Jake Elliott misses 54-yard field goal after Jalen Hurts sack

The Eagles were facing a third-and-6 in field goal range but a miscommunication between center Landon Dickerson and tight end Grant Calcaterra allowed Frankie Luvu to come through unblocked and deck Hurts for a 9-yard sack.

That pushed Elliott's field goal back to the 54-yard line. Elliott missed the kick wide right, making him just 1-for-8 on attempts from 50-plus yards this season.

Eagles run tush push despite backup center, Jalen Hurts knee injury

For anyone wondering whether Cam Jurgens' absence and Hurts' knee problem would prevent Philadelphia from using its most effective short-yardage run, the answer is no. The Eagles ran it on a third-and-1 and while Hurts didn't generate the same type of powerful push as he often does, Philly was still able to push him forward for a first down.

Saquon Barkley spotted massaging calf on sideline

Barkley got two touchdowns on his first two carries of the game, but evidently, he is trying to keep his calf loose. He was spotted using a massager on his leg by Fox's broadcast crew.

Commanders settle for 46-yard field goal after stalling out

Washington got near the red-zone after Tress Way's fake punt and Dyami Brown's 24-yard reception but consecutive incompletions to open the second quarter forced them to settle for a field goal attempt.

Zane Gonzalez made the 46-yard field goal with ease to cut Philadelphia's lead to 14-6.

Eagles lead Commanders 14-3 after first quarter

Washington opened the scoring with a field goal on an 18-play opening drive but since then, Philadelphia has dominated. 

Saquon Barkley has 64 yards and two touchdowns on two touches so far. Meanwhile, the Eagles have limited Jayden Daniels, allowing the talented rookie to complete passes but largely limiting the Commanders' big plays through the air. Their defense has already sacked Daniels, which matches the total amount of times he had been sacked in Washington's two wins combined.

Dan Quinn has remained aggressive, as Washington is 3-for-3 on fourth downs, including a 23-yard fake punt conversion where Tress Way hit Ben Sinnott for a massive gain. The Commanders are driving as a result of that fake and a second-and-16 rope Daniels threw to Dyami Brown, so they could put a dent into Philly's 11-point lead early in the second quarter.

Washington fakes punt, converts fourth down to avoid three-and-out

The Commanders appeared to go three-and-out on their third drive of the day, but Dan Quinn and special teams coordinator Larry Izzo dialed up a trick play. Washington faked the punt and Tress Way feathered a perfect pass to tight end Ben Sinnott to keep the Commanders' drive alive.

That breathes some life into Washington's offense, trailing 14-3.

Did DeVonta Smith make sideline catch?

Smith appeared to make a toe-tap catch on the sideline on the Eagles' second drive of the day, which ended with a touchdown. However, a closer replay review revealed his toe was very close to the line when he came down with the ball.

The Eagles ran to the line quickly and got a play off before the Commanders could challenge the play. As such, the call on the field held up and helped Philadelphia on its second touchdown drive.

Barkley scores second touchdown of first quarter to extend Eagles lead

The Eagles continue to move the ball well against the Commanders' leaky run defense. On first-and-goal, Philadelphia handed the ball to Barkley and he took it off tackle to the right side and scampered in for his second score of the day with ease.

Jake Elliott makes another extra point and gives the Eagles a 14-3 first-quarter lead.

Dyami Brown fumbles after screen pass reception, Eagles recover

The Commanders haven't turned the ball over much during the postseason. The Eagles forced them into one on their second drive, as Zack Baun punched the ball out of Dyami Brown's hands after a screen pass. 

Safety Reid Blankenship jumped on the ball, giving the Eagles possession at Washington's 48-yard line. Philadelphia has a chance to build on its early 7-3 lead.

Commanders vs. Eagles time of possession stats

After one drive apiece, the Commanders are winning the time of possession battle 7:03 to 0:18. The Eagles are winning the game 7-3 thanks to Saquon Barkley's explosive rushing touchdown.

Saquon Barkley runs for 60-yard TD on first Eagles offensive snap

The Commanders were always going to have trouble containing Barkley. On the first play of the game, he took an outside toss around the left tackle for an easy first down. From there, he cut back over the middle of the field and Washington couldn't tackle him.

Jake Elliott's extra point is good, and the Eagles have an early 7-3 lead.

Commanders score first: Zane Gonzalez makes 34-yard field goal to cap 18-play opening drive

Washington's drive came to an end after the Eagles stopped Austin Ekeler short of the sticks on a third-down receptions. Dan Quinn opted not to go for it on fourth-and-3 and called upon Gonzalez to open the scoring. Gonzalez made the kick to give Washington an early 3-0 lead.

The Commanders' opening drive lasted 7:03. The Eagles will get their first touch of the game with just under 8 minutes left in the first quarter.

Jayden Daniels scrambles for 5 yards on fourth-and-2

Dan Quinn went for it on fourth down again and Daniels delivered another conversion. This time, the Eagles covered well on the play, but the rookie quarterback found a seam in the defense and scrambled beyond the line-to-gain.

The Commanders are in field goal range and may be able to eat up half of the first quarter as the drive continues.

Commanders convert fourth down on opening drive

Dan Quinn is remaining aggressive early in the NFC championship game. On a fourth-and-5 just over midfield, Washington went for it. Jayden Daniels found Zach Ertz open on the sideline for a gain just beyond the sticks.

The Commanders are 2-of-3 on third downs to open the game but have now converted their first fourth-down attempt.

Eagles defer to start game, kick to Commanders

Philadelphia won the coin toss on Sunday and deferred its choice to the second half. That means Washington's offense will be on the field to start the day as Jayden Daniels and Co. looks to get off to a fast start.

Who did Jayden Daniels play for in college?

Daniels spent the first three seasons of his college career playing at Arizona State. He then transferred to LSU for his final two seasons, becoming the latest in the line of great Tigers pro quarterbacks.

Daniels' success during his final season in Baton Rouge allowed him to become the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft. He is now seeking to become the first rookie starting quarterback to make it to the Super Bowl.

Has Jalen Hurts won a Super Bowl?

No, Hurts has not won a Super Bowl during his NFL career. He was still playing college football in 2018, when the Eagles beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52, and couldn't lead Philadelphia to a win over the Kansas City Chiefs in a 38-35 Super Bowl 57 loss.

Hurts could position himself for a second bite at the Super Bowl apple with a win over the Commanders in the NFC championship game.

Eagles vs. Commanders start time 

  • Date: Sunday, January 26, 2025 
  • Time: 3 p.m. ET 

The NFC championship game meeting between the Eagles and Commanders will kickstart the NFL's Sunday action, kicking off at 3 p.m. ET. The AFC championship game between the Bills and Chiefs game will begin at 6:30 p.m. ET.  

Eagles inactives vs. Commanders

The biggest news of the afternoon surrounds Eagles center Cam Jurgens. Jurgens is dealing with a back injury, and while he isn't inactive today, he may be only be available in an emergency or backup role.

That could deliver some challenges for the Eagles' offensive line.

Most rushing yards in an NFL season including playoffs 

Saquon Barkley is potentially in the running to make NFL history in the NFC championship game. He needs just 148 yards to overtake Terrell Davis for the most rushing yards in a single NFL season including the playoffs and just 3 yards to surpass Davis in second place on the list. 

Below are the top-five rushing totals, playoffs included, in NFL history: 

  1. Terrell Davis, 1998 Broncos: 2,476 yards 
  2. Terrell Davis, 1997 Broncos: 2,331 yards 
  3. Saquon Barkley, 2024 Eagles: 2,329 yards 
  4. Eric Dickerson, 1984 Rams: 2,212 yards 
  5. Adrian Peterson, 2012 Vikings: 2,196 yards 

Barkley averaged 148 rushing yards against the Commanders in two matchups during the 2024 NFL season, so he has a chance to break the record during the NFC championship game. 

Jalen Hurts injury update 

Hurts is off the Eagles’ injury report for Sunday’s game against the Commanders. That said, he anticipates wearing a brace on the left knee he injured against the Rams after being bent back awkwardly in the third quarter of Philadelphia’s divisional round game. 

"It's been progressing, like coach said," Hurts told reporters when asked about his injury at Friday’s practice. 

Commanders inactives vs. Eagles

The Commanders are going to be light in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Defensive tackle DaRon Payne and standout guard Sam Cosmi will both be unavailable for today's matchup.

Eagles vs. Commanders TV channel

  • Low temperature: 24 degrees 
  • Chance of precipitation: 0%

  • Super Bowl 17 
  • Super Bowl 22 
  • Super Bowl 26 

The Commanders have not been back to the Super Bowl since Super Bowl 26, which was played in 1992, so an NFC championship win over the Eagles would mark a long-awaited return to form for Washington. 

Eagles vs. Commanders playoff history 

The Eagles and Commanders have met just once in the postseason despite playing one another 180 times (and counting) in the long-running rivalry. That matchup came in the 1990 NFC wild card game (played in 1991) and saw Washington win it 20-6. 

Art Monk and Gary Clark both caught touchdown passes from Mark Rypien to give Washington the win.
