NFC Conference Championship Takeaways-Unedited.

Eagles Vs Commanders

The Eagles score Seven Rushing Touchdowns Three By Saquon Barkley, One By Rookie Will Shipley and Three By Jalen Hurts Who Also Added Another Through The Air As The commander's Thrilling Run To the Heights Of The NFC Comes To a Halt In A Dominating 55-23 Victory. The Eagles Entered The Weeks As The Favorites But Upstart Commanders Garnered and Dominated The Press Run For Their Spirited Run From Last In The Division Through Two Of The Largest Upsets In Recent Playoff Memory. Most Of The Football World Wanted To Witness The Heralding Rise Of Jayden Daniels As Local Media For The Commanders Reported That The First Practice For Daniels And The Commanders Court “a lot of media”. The Eagles Flew Under The Radar Heading Into This Matchup Which They Dominated From Start To Finish As Saquon Barkley Broke Open The Doors With a 60 Yard Run On The First Play From Scrimmage To Lead The Eagles To A Wire To wire Victory. The Commanders Got a Shot In With 36 Yard Touchdown By Terry McLaurin In The Second Quarter But The Commanders Couldn’t Generate enough Positive Plays To Keep Pace. Turnovers Have Played A Crucial Role In The Commander's Run To The Conference ChampionShop With A +4 Turnover Differential Through Two Games against Philly The Commanders Gave at least three Of These Turnovers Back Through Force Fumbles Against Philly. Penalties Like Pass Interference against Cornerback Marshon Lattimore In The First Half and Late Hit Out Of Bounds On Mike Sainistril on Saquon Barkley and Penalties Extended

Drives For The Eagles. The Commander's Defense Generated A Lot Of Pressure and Sacked Jalen Hurts Twice but The Eagles Prevailed. Hurts Finished 20/28 For 246 Passing Yards One Passing Touchdown, and a 110.1 Passer Rating, Adding 16 Yards On The Ground For Three Touchdown. AJ Brown came Alive Catching 6 Passes, 96 Receiving Yards, And A Touchdown. Dallas Geordert 7 Catches For 85 Yards. The Eagle's passing game came in with question marks as Hurt's play declined near the postseason, but his deep ball looked near the level he had shown during his near MVP season two years ago. Saquon Barkley has 15 Carries For 118 Rushing Yards and three Touchdowns With +72 Over Expected. At No Point During These Playoffs Have The Eagles Looked Like The Best Team In The NFC But They Pulled Away From The Competition To Make The Super For the Second Time In Two Seasons. A Few Sesson Ago Critics Question Whether Hurts Could Function As A Pro Passer After Taking Over For Carson Wentz Now He’s Lead The Eagles To Two SuperBowls In Three Seasons. The Commander's Magical Run Comes To An End In The Conference Championship Just Like No Expected. Turnovers Betrayed The Commanders In This Game And Their Lack of Talent Reared Its Head. The Eagles Sacked Daniels Three Times and Yes The Commanders Converted Four Os Six Fourth Downs Needing Those Attempts On Top Of 7-17 On Third Down But Needing All Those Attempts Indicated An Offense Ailing. Daniels Finished 29/48 For 255 Passing Yards One Touchdown, and One Interception With Six Carries For 48 Rushing Yards And A Score And Suffered His First Set Of Sacks In This Matchup With The Eagles. Zach Ertz 11 Catches For 104 Yards He Serves As Daniels Number One Target On Late Downs. Terry McLaurin 3 Catches For 51 Yards. Three Commanders Lost Fumbles Including Wide Receiver Dyami Brown, Running back Catch Specialist Austin Ekeler, and Kick Returner Jeremy Nichols Contributing To +23.6% For The Eagles. The Commanders Will Look To Build On This Performance Thanks To Daniels's Rookie Deal The Team Commanders Project To Have More Than $87 Million Which Includes The Draft And Even WITH Mclaurin The Team Should Make A strong Push For A Guy Like Tee Higgins. The Commanders Need A Stronger Outside. I Think They Got Great Contributions From Guys Like Dyami and Noah Brown

As Well As Zacheus But The Commanders Offense Need A Star Along Side McLaurin Whose Always Felt Like A 1-B For A stylistic Stand Point. The Defense Also Needs An elite Pass Rusher and Maybe A Guy Like their Old Friend Chase Young.

The Eagles Enter The Conference Final towering Over The Commanders In both Experience And Talent But Not That Those Have Ever Stopped Jayden Daniels. No Matter The Levels, The Pressure, and The Prestige It’s Just Football Daniels Has Played Football For years and They Have Confidence At Their Back Having Taken The Most Difficult Trial To This Position. The Eagles also Have Troubled Talent. Saquon’s The Best Player On The Team But Jalen Hurts Has To Play Well For This Team To Win A Championship As He Deals With A Knee Injury He Suffered Coming Off Of The Rams Game. Saquon Hurts Has Suffered A Concussion, A Finger Injury, And Now A Knee In A Month, And If he Plays Subpar The Eagles’ Defense Will Have To Overcome The Play Of Two Quarterbacks Including Their Own. Jayden Daniels Enters This game Having “Already Won” Defying The Odds By Leading His Team To The Playoffs and Then Overcoming two road games as underdogs Only By The Vegas Odds Line. The Commanders Could Opt To Let Saquon Run Wild And Trust Their Offense To Leverage The Difference. The Commanders Offensive Line Started a Rookie Left Tackle and Lost Guard Sam

Cosmi So the Eagle's Pass Rush Put The Imprint On This Game Early Getting A Sack On Jayden Daniels And Deflecting A Pass On Washington’s First Drive. The Eagles' Defense Forced The Commanders into Two Tough fourth downs Early But The Commanders Answered The Call Consistently Executing As Daniels Connected with Zach Ertz For Seven Yards On Fourth and Five and Converts With His Legs On Fourth And Two With Daniels Using His Legs. The Eagles' Defense Still won Out Forcing The Commanders To expend 18 Plays And Settle For A Field Goal Keeping the Commanders Out Of The Red Zone. The Eagles' First Possession Would Dwarf The Commanders’ Drive Volume Of Plays, The Eagles Run Just One Play But Transend The Commanders As Saquon Barkley Breaks A Few Tackles And Records A 60 Yard Touchdown. The Play Looked Dead 10 Plus Yards Into The Run As Commanders’s Defenders Converge On Barkley But Failed To Secure The Tackle And Barkley Rumbled Into The End Zone. A commander response would Get Put On Hold After Dyami Brown Fumbles After Securing A Catch but Getting The Ball Punched Out By Zach Baun and Recovered By Reed Blankenship. Saquon Barkley Would Add To Their Lead This One Less Explosive On The Ground hitting receiver Devonta Smith For 20 Yard Reception Which Set A Saquon Barkley Four Yard Touchdown That Capped Off A 6 Play 48 Yard Drive Before The end Of The First Quarter The Eagles amassed a 14-3 Lead. The Commander's Offense Would Add a Field After A Fake Punt Turns Into A 23 Yard Connection From Tres Way to Tight End Ben Sinnott that Kept A Three And Out Drive-Alive. The Commanders Would Get A Stop Of Philly As Frankie Luvu Sack Pushed Hurts and The Eagles' Backward Giving Jayden Daniels a Great Field Position. The Commander's Offense Consistently Found Itself In Third Down And Medium Situations Against The Eagles. Relying Heavily On The Pass Facing A 3rd And Three In The Second Quarter Kliff Kingsbury Calls A Slant Concept and Terry McLaurin Picks Up The First Down Escapes His Coverage and Takes Off For 36 Yards And A Touchdown. The Commanders Have Gotten a lot of Explosive Plays This Postseason And They Needed One And Got One From Their Best Receiver. The Eagles' Passing Attack Came To Play and Showed They Can Also Convert On Fourth Down By Connecting On 31 Yard Pass Play. The Eagles Would Face A 3rd And 13 And Pick Up A Pass Interference Call On Marshin Lattimore Defending Devonta Smith That Set Up The Eagles At The One Yard Line And One Quarterback Sneak Later Eagles Score Another Touchdown To Push The Score Out 20-12 After An Eagles Fail Two Point Conversion. The Eagles However Get The Ball Back As The Commanders’s Kick Return Fumble Return and Give The Eagles a Short Field. The Commanders’s Defense Again Forces A Stop But Another Penalty On Cornerback Mike Sainistril On a Late Hit Gave The Eagles A New set Of Downs. Jalen Hurts Connects With AJ Brown For Four Yards and The Eagles Take A 27-12. The Commanders Thrived On Takeaways During This Post-Season Run But The Eagles Got The Best Of The Commander's Miscues With 14 Points Off Of The Commanders’s Turnovers. The Commanders Put Together A Sterling Late Drive To Pick Up A Field Goal Before The Half But Jayden Daniels's Impact As A Force Multiplier Only Matters If He’s On The Field And With Philly Dominating The Half The Commanders Come Up With Three Field Goals and A Touchdown. The Commanders Early Drive Helped Them Stay In Line With Philly In Terms Of Time Of Possession and Six Drives Each But Philly’s Advantage On Turnovers Help Them Seize The Lead. Both offenses Spilt Three And Outs As The Commanders’s Sack Totals Jump After Consecutive Sacks Hits Hurt But The Eagles Gets A Big Sack By Jordan Davis To Stop The Commander's Drive. Both Teams Put Together Scoring Drives Both Rushing Touchdown For Both Quarterbacks. Jalen Hurts Picks Up A Nine Yard Score To Cap Off A Four Play For 58 Yards Big 26 Yard Play To Set Up A Dallas Geodert To Set Up The Score. Jayden Daniels Would Respond With His 10-yard touchdown on The Ground. The Commanders Pressure Forces An Eagles punt But The Commanders Fumble and Turn The Ball Over For The Third Time Late In Third Quarter. The Eagles Would Turn This Turnover Into Another Hurts’s Score on A Push at The Goal Line. The Eagles Add Another Score Way Through The Fourth Quarter. According To Next Gen Stats, The Eagles Gained a +15.9 Win Probability With Those Two Forced Fumbles. The Eagles Slump The Commander's Offense.
