PHILADELPHIA -- Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts lit it up through the air and on the ground in Sunday's NFC Championship win over the Washington Commanders, totaling 262 yards and four touchdowns to lead Philadelphia to a 55-23 win and into Super Bowl LIX.
Hurts quipped afterward that coach Nick Sirianni "let me out of my straitjacket a little bit today."
With such a dominant run game led by MVP candidate Saquon Barkley, the Eagles have largely leaned conservative when it comes to the passing attack. Hurts' 246 yards through the air against Washington marked just the second time in the past eight games he hit the 200-yard mark passing.
