Heroes, zeros and the total blitz from the Eagles’ 55-23 thrashing of the Commanders in Sunday’s NFC Championship sport:
Hero
Saquon Barkley shrugged off a proper calf harm and carried 15 instances for 118 yards and three touchdowns.
He scored touchdowns on his first two touches, together with a stunning 60-yarder on the Eagles’ first offensive snap.
Zero
After a landing by Jalen Hurts, Jeremy McNichols fumbled the following kickoff return and it was recovered by the Eagles, who transformed the turnover right into a second landing in a 65-second span late within the first half.
Unsung hero
Pretty much as good as Barkley has been, one other free agent addition has been good for the Eagles.
Defensive Participant of the Yr candidate Zack Baun compelled a fumble and recovered one other to go together with his 12 tackles.
Key stat
459: Complete offensive yards by the Eagles, who scored touchdowns on eight of their first 11 possessions.
Quote of the day
“It don’t matter if you don’t win it, right? The most special thing you can do is win a Super Bowl.”
— Saquon Barkley
