REVEALED: Eagles strike for saquon barkley touchdown after commanders field goal | Vintage Vibes

The Washington Commanders ate up more than seven minutes with an 18-drive to take a lead in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday at the Linc.

The Eagles weren’t wowed. They got a long kickoff return and Jalen Hurts handed off to Saquon Barkley on their first offensive play.

Sixty yards and a PAT later, the Eagles led 7-0. The Eagles took 18 seconds to get the lead.

The Commanders had gambled multiple times on fourth down on their opening drive.

After a pair of conversions, Dan Quinn decided it was time not to take chances on another fourth down and opted for a field goal. Zane Gonzalez connected from 34 yards.

The drive was 18 plays and covered 54 yards as Washington ate up 7:03 on the clock.
