“It was fun to be out there and see the confetti and things you envision, but the most special thing about it was being out there with my family,” Barkley said. “I know I’ve never been there, but I’ve been there so many times in my head.” This, the celebration, the shot at a Super Bowl, was why Barkley signed with the Eagles, he said.
The officials ruled that one more jump by Luvu would take him out of the game. So as the Eagles lined up again, now within inches of the goal line, encroachment was called again, this time Jonathan Allen committing the infraction. He had already been offsides at the start of this mess, right before Luvu jumped twice.
Washington Commanders v Philadelphia Eagles / Emilee Chinn/GettyImages There's plenty of credit to go around for the Philadelphia Eagles' blowout win over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game;
Philly's stars combined for six rushing touchdowns and the Eagles forced four turnovers Sunday, ending Washington's dream run.

Saquon Barkley is unsure himself why exactly over the final 30 yards of a 78-yard scoring burst through the playoff snow in a run that whipped Philadelphia Eagles fans out of their frigid state and into a frenzy he cradled the football in his left hand and repeatedly smacked his helmet with his right hand.
Saquon Barkley continues his stellar debut season for the Eagles with three rushing scores to propel Philadelphia past Washington and into the Super Bowl.
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.
Saquon Barkley has spent the duration of the season being an opposing defense’s worst nightmare. Sunday afternoon, he was his own, if only for a brief moment. The Eagles defense was on the field for 18 plays on a grueling opening drive from Washington that featured a pair of third-and-6 conversions and another two conversions on fourth down.
Brown had a key block on Jalen Hurts’ 44-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and another on Saquon Barkley’s 78-yarder in the snow late in the game. With a back like Barkley, the Eagles’ receivers know their effort on the perimeter could be the difference between a nice run and a home run.
It's why the past 11 NFL MVP winners have been quarterbacks. However, every signal-caller -- even MVP winners -- need help from others to lift the Vince Lombardi Trophy as Super Bowl champions at the end of the season.
