Shawn Hochuli, the chief referee in the NFC championship game, raised a few eyebrows Sunday when he turned his microphone on and announced to the football-watching world that he was on the verge of awarding the Eagles points because of repeated offside penalties by the Washington Commanders.

Referee Shawn Hochuli warned Washington of the potential touchdown that could be awarded after a third straight encroachment penalty.

As long as they have Jalen Hurts, Nick Sirianni is confident in his and the Philadelphia Eagles' chances against anyone.

After watching the Commanders march down the field on their opening drive, Saquon Barkley set the tone for the Eagles with just one play.

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles linebacker Zack Baun took off his Oxygen mask and put his helmet back on when he saw running back Saquon Barkley rush for a 60-yard touchdown on their first offensive play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

After the bye, the Eagles rattled off 10 straight victories and won 12 of their final 13 regular-season games. The tandem of Sirianni and Hurts has already doubled the one Super Bowl berth that Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb accomplished together.

Commanders tight end Zach Ertz - record-holder for every statistic by a tight end in Eagles history - got into an altercation with Nick Sirianni after Washington's 36-33 win in Week 16 this year. Reports after the game stated that Sirianni took offense to Ertz's celebration and the two needed to be separated after a short argument.

Fire Andy” chants echoed throughout the stands in Philadelphia during Andy Reid’s final season coaching the Eagles in 2012.

Nick Sirianni and Jeffrey Lurie made some history with the Eagles Sunday, and so did their players during a 55-23 romp in the NFC championship game.

After meeting twice in the regular season, the Commanders and Eagles will meet for a third time on Sunday, in the NFC Championship Game. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says that makes it incumbent on both coaching staffs to come up with schemes that the opponent hasn’t seen before.

After watching the Washington Commanders slowly march down the field on the opening drive of the NFC Championship, settling for three after converting on multiple fourth downs, the Philadelphia Eagles needed to make a statement to show their rivals to the southwest that they mean business.
