PHILADELPHIA - Saquon Barkley sprinted through the snow on touchdown runs of 78 and 62 yards to finish with 205 yards and Jalen Hurts ran in a 44-yard score, The Philadelphia Eagles held off the turnover-prone Los Angeles Rams with a 28-yard score. Sunday the 22nd will advance to the NFC Championship Game for the second time in three seasons.

Barkley ran 62 yards in the first half and extended the lead in the fourth quarter when he rushed out of a hole and ran 78 yards without touching for another touchdown. He banged his hands on his helmet on his final snowy steps, and after reaching the end zone, waving his arms, slid into the snow in a late-game celebration.

The Eagles will host Washington in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday, and the Commanders defeated top-seeded Detroit on Saturday. On ESPN BET, the Eagles opened with a 5.5-point lead over the Commanders. The total opening price was 47.5.

“The elements are great, but the atmosphere is even better,” Buckley said. "Our fans were awesome. It was a close game, but that's playoff football. At the end of the day, we got the job done."

The Rams maintained their frustrating threat -- thanks in large part to two missed extra points by Philadelphia's Jake Elliott.

Matthew Stafford, who passed for 324 yards, threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Colby Parkinson to make it 28-22 and keep the Rams ahead. The Rams got the ball back with two minutes left, and Stafford completed passes of 11 and 37 yards to put the ball in Eagles territory.

But Stafford was sacked by Jalen Carter on third down and threw an incomplete pass on fourth down, ending the threat.

Before that, the Rams suffered a series of turnovers in the fourth quarter, including one by running back Kyren Williams that led to an Eagles field goal and Stafford's strip sack that led to Elio Another punt by Te gave Philadelphia a 22-15 lead.

The Eagles will host the NFC Championship Game for the fifth time since Lincoln Financial Field opened in 2003.

The Eagles' defense played in the winter chaos and celebrated the fumble by creating a snow angel in the end zone. Some brave icy fans went topless - yes, even Santa Claus was in the house, and there were no reports of snowball throwing.

Stadium staff used snowblowers to clear yard lines and hash marks, while the Eagles shoveled and kicked away the snow to clear a circle for Elliott's field goal opportunity.

Hurts threw for just 128 yards, and his mobility was limited after wearing a knee brace in the second half. He didn't miss a snap, but was easily hit by the safety. He was fired seven times.

Hurts missed two games with a concussion in a December loss to Washington. It was the Eagles' only loss since returning from a bye with a 2-2 record.

"It comes from Philadelphia. It means everything to this city, this team, and we have everything we want," Hurts said.

Barkley totaled 118 yards at halftime, but the Rams defense sacked Hurts three times in the half after finishing with nine sacks against Minnesota. Hurts had back-to-back sacks at the end of the first half, losing a total of 16 yards and knocking the Eagles out of field goal range.

The Eagles borrowed a playbook from their win in Los Angeles in November, when Barkley's touchdown runs of 70 and 72 yards gave them an easy victory.

Hurts rushed for the longest touchdown of his career, a 44-yard touchdown run on the fifth play of the game, sending an apathetic crowd still buzzing from the pregame show into a frenzy. Elliott missed the extra point for the second straight playoff game.

On the fourth drive, Stafford hit Tyler Higbee for a 4-yard touchdown to make it 7-6. Just six days earlier, Higbee was taken to the hospital with a chest injury after vomiting blood during a playoff win over Minnesota.

Barkley scored on a 62-yard dash to take a 13-7 lead, but not before the 2,105-yard rusher slowed down near the end zone and tipped back to trailing Jared Voss. Barkley rushed for 50 or more touchdowns for the fifth time this season and became the first player to rush for 60 or more touchdowns three times with a team since Baltimore's Jamal Lewis in 2003 against the Browns. yard players.

Visser was attacked by Barkley after Rams rookie linebacker Barkley, a Pennsylvania native, said he "hated Eagles fans." The first-round draft pick attended high school in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania, about 100 miles northwest of Philadelphia.

Visser egged on fans during pregame warmups and enjoyed the boos he received in the light snow. As soon as the game started, a verse from the Eagles bench appeared on the big screen, and fans booed again.

Weiss winked at the camera and added his name to the list of Philly sports villains.

Joshua Carty kicked two field goals for the Rams in the first half.

Elliott made up for the missed extra point in the third quarter with a 44-yard field goal that sailed through the uprights for a 16-13 lead.
