Eagles Overcome Center Injuries to Secure NFC Title in Dominant Fashion
Philadelphia's offensive line shuffled positions after injuries to Cam Jurgens and Landon Dickerson, but the team still set records in a 55-23 victory over Washington.
- Pro Bowl center Cam Jurgens, dealing with a back injury, was initially expected to play only in an emergency role but entered the game after Landon Dickerson suffered a knee injury in the first half.
- Landon Dickerson started at center in place of Jurgens but was forced to exit, prompting Jurgens to step in despite limited practice and ongoing discomfort.
- Tyler Steen filled in at left guard as Dickerson moved to center, showcasing the depth and adaptability of the Eagles' offensive line under coach Jeff Stoutland's guidance.
- The Eagles' offense set records with seven rushing touchdowns, including three each from Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley, highlighting the line's resilience and dominance despite disruptions.
- Jurgens and Dickerson are expected to recover in time for the Super Bowl, where the Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs in a rematch of Super Bowl LVII.
