The 2025 National Football Conference (NFC) Championship Game is set to be a monumental clash in the National Football League, featuring the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. This game will crown the NFC Champion setting the stage for one team to advance to Super Bowl LIX. This contest marks another chapter in the storied rivalry within the NFC East, and it's the Commanders' first appearance in the NFC Championship since 1991, while the Eagles are looking to cement their status as perennial contenders.
Background
The Eagles had a stellar regular season, finishing with a 14-3 record, clinching the NFC East, and securing the No. 2 seed. Their success was built on a balanced attack, with quarterback Jalen Hurts and superstar running back Saquon Barkley leading a dynamic offense and a defense that showed significant improvement due to new additions and strategic adjustments.
In the NFC Divisional Round, the Philadelphia Eagles faced the Los Angeles Rams in a hard-fought game. The matchup was highlighted by a robust defensive performance from Philadelphia, which pressured Matthew Stafford into making mistakes. Hurts and the offense capitalized on these opportunities, leading to a closely contested 28-22 victory.
During the regular season, the Washington Commanders, led by sensational rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels, surprised many by making the playoffs as the No. 6 seed with an 11-6 record. Daniels' electrifying play and the team's resilient defense, bolstered by strategic coaching from Dan Quinn, were key to their success.
In the NFC Wild Card Round, Washington upset the No. 3 seeded Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a thrilling game. This matchup showcased Daniels' poise under pressure and a defense that created turnovers at critical moments.
In an incredible NFC Divisional Round, the Washington Commanders shocked the world by pulling off a monumental upset against the No. 1 seed, the Detroit Lions. Daniels led a high-scoring offense, while the defense managed to keep the Lions' potent attack in check long enough to secure a stunning 45-31 victory. This marked a great start to Jayden Daniels' career as he aims to become the first quarterback in NFL history to start and win a Super Bowl.
