The Philadelphia Eagles could be even harder for Washington to stop in Sunday's NFC Championship Game after the team ruled out a key piece of its defensive front seven.

The 2023 season was a far cry from anything the Philadelphia Eagles had anticipated coming off a Super Bowl appearance. After starting 10-1, they lost five of their last six and bowed out of the playoffs at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

From Whitehall High School to the NFL, teammates of Saquon Barkley are left in awe of his ability and motivated by his selflessness.

The Rams had an opportunity to beat the Eagles on their last drive, reaching the red zone, but came up short, 28-22, in the NFC divisional round of the playoffs.

Although the Eagles called 34 rushing plays compared to just 21 pass attempts, quarterback Jalen Hurts played his part as well. He was efficient through the air (13-for-21, 131 yards), distributing touchdown passes to wideout Jahan Dotson and tight end Dallas Goedert.

In his first playoff game with the Philadelphia Eagles, Saquon Barkley helped guide his team to a 22-10 win over Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round. Now, the Eagles will move on to the Divisional Round, where they will host the highest-seeded team that advances, excluding the No. 1 seed Detroit Lions.

The Eagles beat the Packers on Wild Card Weekend, making a Saquon Barkley wish come true. The running back dominated in the win.
