00:00The NFC Championship at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia between the NFC East
00:06divisional foes, the Commanders and the Eagles. The 181st all-time meeting between Philly and
00:13Washington. The first time ever in the NFC Championship. The Birds hosting said NFC
00:20title game for a second time in a three-year window. The Commanders and the rookie,
00:25Jaden Daniels, into an NFC Championship game for the first time since the 1991 campaign. And Donny,
00:33there was some thought that Jaden Daniels and Dan Quinn in his first year in Washington
00:38had continued to defy the odds each and every step of this season. They would put up a fight
00:44in Philadelphia. That thought was wildly incorrect. The Eagles win big. Back to a Super Bowl for a
00:53second time in the last three years. 55-23 behind a punishing ground attack in the best defense in
01:02the sport that forced four turnovers yesterday. The Birds cover as a six and a half point home
01:07favorite. A total of 46 and a hook stood no chance. The Eagles go over that by themselves,
01:14scoring 55 points. The Eagles, they're flying to New Orleans because of the ground game
01:22back in a Super Bowl for the second time in the last three years to see the same opponent on the
01:27other side, that being the Kansas City Chiefs. Absolutely, and we'll get to the game itself in
01:33just a second, but sometimes you got to shout out the fan blue sports book. Like, they have enough
01:37money now, Ben, to put an embassy in all 50 states because we went over ad nauseum last week. The
01:42ticket counts on both the Kansas City game and the Philadelphia game where everybody and their
01:47grandmothers were laying the wood with the Buffalo Bills and the Commanders only to see them both
01:53get beat. Now let's get to this football game and why it made sense where the Philadelphia Eagles
01:57were the better team. Told you all last week, if you looked optimistically at this game, every
02:03single position that maybe you could argue quarterback because one guy was coming in with
02:07a knee injury and the other one wasn't, the Eagles were better at. Every single position. Look at the
02:13coaching staffs. Coaching staffs better to the Philadelphia Eagles. Oh, Dan Quinn's a good coach.
02:17He's a great coach. You ever seen Nick Serrano's overall record here? You see Vic Fangio's number
02:21one overall defense against the 28th overall defense in Washington, but let's get to the
02:26gameplay itself. Actually, I was really impressed coming out with the Washington Commanders on an
02:3018 play drive, but you don't get defeated on that. You continuously go for fourth down and then decide
02:35when you're on the road as an underdog, let's kick that field goal because we need points as somehow
02:39that our defense is going to hold up in 17 or 20 was going to win this game for Washington. That
02:44wasn't going to happen, but also understand that you can't have this. You get a little bit of
02:48momentum from the three to nothing. You give off the big kick return to Will Shipley, which sets
02:52you up around the 40 plus yard line on your own side. And the very next play, say Quan Barkley
02:56hits a home run and goes right through your entire defense to set the stage for what was going to
03:01happen. Now there were a lot of plays throughout the game, which had big momentum changes, but
03:05none bigger than, can you imagine Ben though? 1921 plays opening drive, nine minutes off the
03:10clock and a seven to nothing lead for Washington right off the bat. I was surprised where their
03:14MO all postseason was we are going to go in fourth and manageable situations every time to put the
03:20pressure on the defense and our results from the season and the playoff showed we are an
03:25unbelievable fourth down team. I was surprised they kicked that field goal to take the three
03:29to nothing lead Ben.
