Both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Commanders will be aiming to secure their Super Bowl spot, and that ticket will go to the team that comes out on top in the 2025 NFC Championship Game. Jalen Hurts‘ Eagles have the advantage of Lincoln Financial Field as a stronghold to use to their benefit, while Jayden Daniels‘ team are looking to keep pulling off upsets this season.
Following the Detroit Lions’ loss last weekend, the top seed in the NFC, Nick Sirianni‘s team earned the right to host this crucial game at home. A 14-3 regular season record allowed Philadelphia to claim ownership of their division during the regular season.
The start of the playoffs showcased a strong performance from the team led by Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, and after a solid showing in front of their home crowd, they dispatched the Green Bay Packers without hesitation, securing a 22-10 victory.
Last weekend, the Eagles once again took the field at home, and in a game with changing weather conditions where the cold and snow took center stage, they managed to overcome a tough opponent in the Los Angeles Rams and secure their spot in the conference final.
Fans look on prior to a game between the Los Angeles Rams and the Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium on November 24, 2024 in Inglewood, California.
What happens if the Eagles defeat the Washington Commanders?
If the Philadelphia Eagles manage to defeat the Washington Commanders, they will secure their spot in the Super Bowl, set to take place in New Orleans on February 9. Their potential opponent will be determined by the matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Buffalo Bills.
What happens if the Eagles and Commanders tie their game?
This might be the least likely outcome, and while a tie is possible during the regular season, at this stage of the playoffs, there must be a winner. So the question is: What happens if playoff games end in a tie?
