The Eagles are playing in their second conference championship in three years. Philadelphia beat the 49ers in the NFC championship game two years ago before losing to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 57.

Eagles vs. Commanders predictions
Eagles 30, Commanders 20
Washington was the road underdog in both of its playoff games so far and came away victorious in both. But the Commanders have not faced a defense as strong as Philadelphia's during this playoff run.
Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels picked apart the Buccaneers' pass defense to the tune of a 68.5% completion rate, 268 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers were even better against the banged-up Lions defense, and Washington was able to get its run game going as well against Detroit's injury-depleted defensive front.
After turning the ball over on downs on their first possession last weekend, Daniels and the Commanders completed four consecutive scoring drives to build a 31-21 halftime lead that they never gave back.
The NFC East runners-up face a much taller task against an outstanding (and healthier) Eagles defense in the NFC championship game. Philadelphia held its first two postseason opponents to a combined completion rate under 60% and picked off Packers quarterback Jordan Love three times in the wild-card round.
Daniels played well against the Eagles in the two regular-season clashes between these divisional opponents, but the Commanders had trouble getting their run game going in those games. If those issues don't get resolved against the exceptional front seven Philadelphia has, Washington's offense will start to look one-dimensional, which would be a big problem against Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and his squad.
Additionally, the Commanders will have to figure out a way to stop running back Saquon Barkley and the Eagles' rushing offense as a whole. Barkley has had more success against Washington than any other team in his career, and the Commanders already allowed big days to opposing tailbacks in their first two playoff games.
Washington has stayed out of too much trouble by winning the turnover margin to help stay in games, but if Philadelphia gets an early lead, they'll pound the rock with Barkley and march to another Super Bowl appearance.
