The Eagles have sore to the sky as they absolutely destroyed the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game, up by over 30 points. The offense was unstoppable as a train and the defense was rock solid. Everything the Commanders tried almost failed. They crushed the Commanders’ dream to reach the Super Bowl after a wait of 33 years. Despite that, there was a bad update for the Iggles, and it’s regarding their OL, Landon Dickerson.

Dickerson went down with a knee injury in the first half, and it had everyone wondering how this could affect game-winning chances. (This was before they won the game). Dickerson was already filling in at the center for Cam Jurgens, who was dealing with a back injury. You could tell something was off when Dickerson started limping off after a failed 2-point conversion. The Eagles quickly ruled him out, which meant they had to shuffle the offensive line.

That’s when Cam Jurgens stepped in. Even though his back was still bothering him, Jurgens was like, ‘I got this.’ After warming up, he slid into the center spot. The transition wasn’t perfect, but Jurgens held it down to keep the offense going. And just when it couldn’t get crazier, running back Kenny Gainwell was ruled out after a concussion check during the second-half kickoff.

With Dickerson and Gainwell both out, the Eagles were dealing with some serious adversity, but they didn’t let it mess with their flow. Jalen Hurts and the offense kept doing their thing, and the defense stayed locked in. Even with all the injuries, the Eagles didn’t slow down. They kept their big lead and showed they’re ready to take on whatever comes next in their Super Bowl journey.

What’s next? Going home with Super Bowl or nothing!

What’s your perspective on:

Is Landon Dickerson's injury the turning point for the Eagles' Super Bowl dreams?

Have an interesting take?

Even with Landon Dickerson injured, the Eagles absolutely crushed the Commanders 55-23, and are already eyeing the Super Bowl. Jalen Hurts was feeling all kinds of hyped but kept it real about what’s next. He said, “I ain’t gonna lie — I tried to downplay it in my head, but it’s just amazing, man. It’s amazing. We’re here. The Super Bowl. But the goal wasn’t just getting there. The goal is to win. And we’re going to celebrate and enjoy this and get right back to work.”

Coach Nick Sirianni’s on the same page, keeping it real and reminding everyone the grind’s just starting. “We have to keep our focus. We have a lot of work to do to get ready for the Super Bowl.” Now, the Eagles just gotta chill for a bit and see if they’re facing the Kansas City Chiefs or Buffalo Bills. Super Bowl LIX is set for February 9 at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, and trust me, Philly fans are already hyped and ready for the big showdown.

As they prep, the team is all about staying sharp, tweaking their game plan, and keeping their bodies in peak condition. The coaches are deep into film sessions, studying their potential opponents like it’s homework. The hype is real — Philly’s looking to bring home that second Super Bowl title!
