Shawn Hochuli, the chief referee in the NFC championship game, raised a few eyebrows Sunday when he turned his microphone on and announced to the football-watching world that he was on the verge of awarding the Eagles points because of repeated offside penalties by the Washington Commanders.

As if the tush push isn’t tough enough to defend already, the Eagles knew they had an obscure rule in their pocket to help them if opposing teams go overboard in attempting to stop the play. Philadelphia coach Nick Sirianni revealed he reminded the referees during Sunday’s NFC Championship game that the officials could award the Eagles a touchdown if the Commanders kept jumping offsides in an attempt to stop the short-yardage rushing play in

After watching the Commanders march down the field on their opening drive, Saquon Barkley set the tone for the Eagles with just one play.

After meeting twice in the regular season, the Commanders and Eagles will meet for a third time on Sunday, in the NFC Championship Game. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says that makes it incumbent on both coaching staffs to come up with schemes that the opponent hasn’t seen before.

Commanders tight end Zach Ertz - record-holder for every statistic by a tight end in Eagles history - got into an altercation with Nick Sirianni after Washington's 36-33 win in Week 16 this year. Reports after the game stated that Sirianni took offense to Ertz's celebration and the two needed to be separated after a short argument.

Fire Andy” chants echoed throughout the stands in Philadelphia during Andy Reid’s final season coaching the Eagles in 2012.

After the bye, the Eagles rattled off 10 straight victories and won 12 of their final 13 regular-season games. The tandem of Sirianni and Hurts has already doubled the one Super Bowl berth that Andy Reid and Donovan McNabb accomplished together.

PHILADELPHIA — Eagles linebacker Zack Baun took off his Oxygen mask and put his helmet back on when he saw running back Saquon Barkley rush for a 60-yard touchdown on their first offensive play against the Washington Commanders on Sunday.

Saquon Barkley dashed 60 yards for a touchdown on Philadelphia’s first play and finished with 118 yards and three scores.

Through his antics, Nick Sirianni shows the same trait that served Andy Reid so well to thrive as all-time great Eagles coaches
