Eagles rout Commanders, headed to Super Bowl LIX

PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia Eagles delivered a complete game at the most opportune of times, punching their ticket to Super Bowl LIX with a decisive 55win over the upstart Washington Commanders in the NFC title game Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.

Questions about Jalen Hurts' health swirled all week after he injured his left knee against the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round. Hurts not only looked healthy, he had one of his best games of the season, totaling four touchdowns, including three on the ground.

MVP candidate Saquon Barkley got the party started with a 60-yard run on the Eagles' first offensive play of the game and finished with three touchdowns.
