Commanders vs. Eagles score, live updates: Philadelphia hosts Washington in NFC Championship game for a spot in the Super Bowl

The Philadelphia Eagles are one win away from a second trip to the Super Bowl with Jalen Hurts at quarterback and Nick Sirianni as the head coach. Standing in their way are the Washington Commanders, led by rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, as the team looks for a first Super Bowl appearance in 32 years. The Eagles have been one of the NFL’s most dominant teams all season long and were expected to be among the teams vying for a Super Bowl berth back when the season started, but that wasn’t the case for the Commanders, who in Dan Quinn’s first year as the head coach, have gone from a 4-13 team with the No. 2 pick in the NFL Draft to the doorstep of a Super Bowl.

The clubs split their regular-season meetings this season, with both teams winning at home. Philadelphia won 26-18 on a Thursday night to open Week 11. Saquon Barkley rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns that night, while Washington won at home in Week 16, 36-33. Jayden Daniels threw five touchdown passes in that game, including a game-winner with nine seconds left. Jalen Hurts was knocked out of that game with a concussion and didn’t return until the wild-card round.

Landon Dickerson could replace C Cam Jurgens for Eagles

In his 73 NFL starts, Jalen Hurts only has taken snaps from centers Cam Jurgens and Jason Kelce. If Jurgens can’t play today, Landon Dickerson could shift from guard to center, and Tyler Steen would replace Dickerson. https://t.co/X0t26503J1

More on Cam Jurgens…

At this point it’s not clear if Jurgens will start or appear at all, but his back injury couldn’t come at a worse time. The center is a significant part of the Eagles’ offensive line, to the point that two of the Eagles’ most important offensive players have barely done anything without him this season.

QB Jalen Hurts has only taken snaps from Jurgens or Jason Kelce in his career. RB Saquon Barkley has never had a carry without Jurgens at center (though that’s mostly because Jurgens has started every game this season, Barkley’s first with the Eagles).

It’ll be a change for Hurts and Barkley to have someone else snapping the ball.

The Commanders will play against the Eagles without starting guard Sam Cosmi (ACL) and defensive tackle Daron Payne (knee). Both injuries were known prior to Sunday.
