The Philadelphia Eagles are your NFC champions and are headed to the Super Bowl after stomping the Washington Commanders, 55-23. 

Those 55 points are the most by any team in NFC Championship Game history. 

Per usual, running back Saquon Barkley was the star of the show as he carried the ball 15 times for 118 yards and three touchdowns (7.9 avg) in the victory. 

Barkley not only makes his case for the MVP award stronger but also gets to cash in another bonus check

After already unlocking $1 million for his 2,000-plus yard 2024 regular season and an All-Pro nod, Barkley gets an additional $250,000 for being crowned an NFC champion. 

He can hit another $250,000 bonus if the Eagles win the Super Bowl. 

The Eagles initially surprised the NFL world when they invested big money into a running back free agency, signing Barkley to a three-year, $37.75 million deal.

However, he proved as early as Week 1 that he was worth the big payday and only continued to prove himself every single week after. 

Barkley and the Eagles will face the winner of the AFC Championship Game featuring the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills.
