The Kansas City Chiefs opened as a -1.5 favorite to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles in this year's Super Bowl. That line quickly moved to -2.
Saquon Barkley dashed 60 yards for a touchdown on Philadelphia’s first play and finished with 118 yards and three scores, Jalen Hurts rushed for three TDs and the Eagles soared into the Super Bowl with a 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders on Sunday.
Hurts and the Eagles are in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons, and this time Barkley is along for the ride. They will play former Eagles coach Andy Reid’s Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl for the second time in three seasons.
“I came to Philly to be part of games like this,” Barkley said. “And there’s nothing better than a game where you can advance to the Super Bowl.”
The 55 points are the most any team has scored in a conference championship game since the 1970 merger.
Hurts, wearing a brace on his left knee, also threw for 246 yards and a touchdown pass and the Eagles had a towel-waving crowd in a frenzy for the NFC championship game at Lincoln Financial Field.
“I don’t want anybody else leading this team at quarterback other than him. He’s a winner,” coach Nick Sirianni said. “Again, he deals with so much criticism which just blows my mind because of the questions I have to answer. I don’t look too much into that. The questions I have to answer it’s just like, man, this guy wins. He’s won his entire life.”
The Kansas City win over the Bills came down to the wire with the Chiefs winning 32-29 and heading to their third straight Super Bowl.
Patrick Mahomes threw for 245 yards and a touchdown.
It's the fourth time since January 2021 that the Chiefs have ended the Bills' season in the playoffs.
