Sports world reacts to Eagles clinching Super Bowl LIX berth - ESPN
The Philadelphia Eagles are on to Super Bowl LIX after defeating the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.
The Eagles were led by 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Saquon Barkley, while quarterback Jalen Hurts had 246 passing yards and a touchdown — plus three scores on the ground. Philadelphia — who also forced four turnovers — had 55 points, the most in any conference championship game since the 1970 merger, according to ESPN Research.
The win prompted reactions from around the sports world. New York Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns led the way, trolling their teammate Josh Hart multiple times.
