It seems like the Philadelphia Eagles one-up themselves each season, and this year was no different. As they capped off their final playoff game on the way to the Super Bowl, several players, and the team as a whole, set new league and franchise postseason records.
Jalen Hurts had three rushing touchdowns against the Commanders, totaling 10 throughout the playoffs, most for a QB in NFL history — passing Steve Young.
The Eagles put up 55 points, which is the most points scored in a Conference Championship game in NFL history — passing Cam Newton and the Panthers 49 points in 2015.
Nick Sirianni is the only head coach in NFL history to reach two Super Bowls without missing the playoffs in his first four seasons.
Nolan Smith set a new Eagles franchise record for most sacks in a single postseason with four through three games.
There’s more history to be made as the Eagles prepare for Super Bowl LIX, and Saquon Barkley is now just 30 yards away from being the NFL’s all-time single season rushing record holder (regular season and playoffs) — a record currently set by Terrell Davis with 2,476 yards back in 1998.
