The Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the best postseason teams this century. Their 19 playoff wins are the second-most since 2000. Only the New England Patriots have more with a whopping 30. Philadelphia secured a commanding 55-23 win over the Washington Commanders to make their fourth Super Bowl since 2000.

Philadelphia’s opponent in the Super Bowl, the Kansas City Chiefs, is one win behind the Eagles with 18 playoff victories since 200. The Philadelphia Eagles will need to win to keep second place all to themselves. Will the Eagles be able to win a championship in a few weeks?

Philadelphia Eagles Playoff Path

The Philadelphia Eagles picked a great time to have their best offensive performance of the season. Their 55 points were the most scored in NFC Championship Game history. Philadelphia’s offense, and specifically Running Back Saquon Barkley ran over the Washington Commanders’ defense. He has powered the Philadelphia Eagles offense all year and the same was true with a Super Bowl hanging in the balance. He had 118 yards on the ground to go along with three rushing touchdowns.

Philadelphia’s stiffest test of the NFL Playoffs came at home against the Los Angeles Rams. Philly’s defense, a strength of the squad this season, came up with a clutch stop to secure the victory. The Eagles forced a turnover on downs to stall a promising Rams drive late in the fourth quarter.

Final Thoughts

Philadelphia has been one of the league’s most consistent teams over the past 25 years, and it has resulted in three Super Bowl appearances with one victory. The Eagles faced the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII. Kansas City prevailed 38-35 for the first of their back-to-back Super Bowls. The Chiefs will look to make history by defeating the Philadelphia Eagles again to complete the first three-peat of the Super Bowl era. Philadelphia has two weeks to prepare and ensure history is not made on their watch.
