The Philadelphia Eagles didn't just dominate the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game-they rewrote the record books. With a resounding 55-23 victory, the Eagles set the record for the most points ever scored in a conference title game.
Jalen Hurts delivered a masterful performance, completing 20-of-28 es for 248 yards, while Saquon Barkley stole the spotlight with 15 carries for 118 yards and three touchdowns. The commanding win sends Philadelphia back to the Super Bowl for the second time in three years.
The Kelce family's Super Bowl dilemma
Cheering from the stands at Lincoln Financial Field was retired Eagles legend and ESPN analyst Jason Kelce, along with his wife, Kylie Kelce. A longtime Eagles er, Kylie was thrilled by the team's historic win, but fans were quick to point out the potential family tension brewing.

Jason's younger brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, was simultaneously battling for his own Super Bowl ticket in the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills.
The Chiefs narrowly edged out the Bills in a dramatic 32-29 victory, setting the stage for a Super Bowl showdown between the Eagles and Chiefs-a matchup that could split the Kelce family right down the middle.
"I want to be there for the Eagles, but I also want to be there for my brother. I don't know how many more [games] he has," Jason Kelce said on They Call It Late Night, expressing the emotional tug-of-war he felt. Ultimately, he stayed in Philadelphia to his former team.
Kylie Kelce, who is pregnant with the couple's fourth child, has made no secret of her unwavering loyalty to the Eagles. Before marrying Jason, she was already a die-hard er of the team, and fans are certain her allegiance won't waver, even against her brother-in-law's Chiefs.
As the possibility of a Chiefs-Eagles Super Bowl matchup loomed, fans took to social media to weigh in on the family drama.
"Ok but if the SB ends up being Chiefs vs Eagles how will Kylie Kelce survive this????" one Swiftie joked on Twitter.
Another fan noted: "That lady bleeds Kelly Green, she'll be staunch & stoic."
"I need the Chiefs to win solely to watch Kylie Kelce root for the Eagles while everyone else roots for the Chiefs," a third tweeted.
