The snow pelted all over Lincoln Financial Field in the second half, a time when the Philadelphia Eagles defense rose to the occasion. Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith forced two fumbles in the snow that led to two fourth-quarter field goals as the Eagles outlasted the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 in the snow to advance to the NFC Championship game.

Saquon Barkley dashed through the snow for touchdown runs of 78 and 62 yards and finished with 205 yards rushing, Jalen Hurts had a 44-yard scoring run and the Philadelphia Eagles held on against the Los Angeles Rams 28-22 to advance to the NFC championship game for the second time in three seasons.

"Comfortable in the spotlight, earnest in his interactions, Barkley quickly became a mentor to the team’s young core and an ally to its proven pillars," Kubena explained. "Barkley, an avid golfer, organized outings to bond with dozens of players. ...[and] became an encourager within an organization that places a high value on player mentorship."
