Nick Sirianni often talks about the Eagles being prepared for every scenario possible, and it often sounds like coachspeak because, well, what else is there to say when the topic of preparedness comes up?

After failing a Tush Push during the fourth quarter, the Eagles summoned kicker Jake Elliott onto the field for a chip shot field goal, and he received an important assist from his teammates prior to getting set for the kick.

After a near-late game collapse, the Eagles failed to cover the opening six-point spread, winning 28-22 for a push. Bettors who took the Eagles on gameday at -6.5 lost outright.

Hurts was sacked on a 2nd-and-15 play from the Rams' 27 by Jaylen McCullough. Hurts was slow to get up and was limping. He stayed in the game and handed off to Barkley on third down. The Eagles then got a 44-yard field goal by Jake Elliott.

Mann corralled a tough snap and lined up the hold to perfection for Jake Elliott, who made the field goal. He had a similar moment a few minutes later after he Eagles recovered a fumble. They were the kind of plays that wouldn’t show up in a box score, but NFL fans were awfully impressed.

The Eagles advanced to the NFC championship game by defeating the Los Angeles Rams, but an Eagles players uncharacteristic drops made the game close for most of the afternoon.

The Rams are looking to knock off another NFC heavyweight while the Eagles are eyeing a second NFC title game in three years.

Elliott has been so good for so long for the Eagles. He’s never missed in the postseason. He made two huge 4th-quarter Super Bowl field goals as a rookie. From 2021 through 2023 he was the 6th-most accurate kicker in the NFL, making more than 90 percent of his attempts and over 70 percent from 50 yards and out.

The Eagles’ kicker has missed eight field goals this season, raising concerns as Philadelphia gears up for their matchup against Green Bay.

The brilliant free-agent signing by the Philadelphia Eagles ran for 255 yards and two touchdowns in a regular season win over LA. On Sunday at snowy Lincoln Financial Field, Barkley ran for two more touchdowns and 205 yards as the Eagles advanced to the NFC Championship Game with a thrilling 28-22 win.

The biggest moments, highlights and stories from the NFC divisional round of the NFL playoffs in Philadelphia.

Yes, the Eagles are talented, but a roster does not self-govern its way to the doorstep of a second Super Bowl in three seasons. Nick Sirianni deserves more credit than he has been given.
