NFC Championship Showdown; Commanders vs Eagles Battle for Super Bowl Spot
The Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles are set to face off in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 26, 2025, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. The game, scheduled for 3 p.m. ET, will determine which team advances to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. This marks the second postseason meeting between the two NFC East rivals, with their last playoff clash occurring in the 1991 NFC Wild Card round, where the Commanders emerged victorious.
The Eagles, who finished the regular season with a 14-3 record, secured home-field advantage after defeating the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 in the Divisional Round. Meanwhile, the Commanders, with a 12-5 record, stunned the Detroit Lions 45-31 to reach their first NFC Championship Game since 1991. The teams split their regular-season matchups, with the Eagles winning 26-18 in Week 11 and the Commanders claiming a 36-33 victory in Week 16.
Key players to watch include Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who led the NFL in rushing yards during the regular season and has been dominant in the playoffs, and Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has impressed with his poise and playmaking ability. Daniels has thrown for 567 yards and four touchdowns in the postseason, including a standout performance against the Lions.
Injury updates reveal that Commanders defensive tackle Daron Payne is questionable with a knee injury, while linebacker Bobby Wagner, who played through a high-ankle sprain last week, is expected to suit up. The Eagles, meanwhile, are relatively healthy, with quarterback Jalen Hurts and tight end Dallas Goedert both cleared to play.
The Eagles are favored by 6 points, with the over/under set at 47.5 points. Experts predict a close game, with many leaning toward Philadelphia due to their home-field advantage and strong defensive performance this postseason. However, the Commanders’ explosive offense, led by Daniels and receiver Terry McLaurin, could pose a significant challenge.
The winner will face either the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills in Super Bowl LIX on February 9, 2025. Fans can watch the game on Fox or stream it via platforms like DirecTV Stream, fuboTV, Hulu + Live TV, and Sling TV.
