Jalen Carter and Jayden Daniels could be facing off for years to come as NFC East rivals. On Sunday, they're standing in the way of each other reaching the Super Bowl.

After beating Tampa Bay in the wild card round, Washington upset No. 1 seed Detroit to earn a spot in the NFC Championship Game. The Commanders will play at the Eagles at 2 p.m. Sunday with a Super Bowl bid on the line.

The Washington Commanders are responsible for the 1 in 14-1, a thrilling comeback home win against the Eagles in December that made coach Dan Quinn and a special quarterback in Jayden Daniels truly believe that, yes, maybe the long-downtrodden franchise once known more for shoddy ownership is finally equipped to make a Super Bowl run.

This NFC Championship Game between the Eagles and Commanders features a handful of must-watch superstar players.

While each of the four teams left with a chance to make the Super Bowl have varied histories, this year they have something unique in common.

Washington has two of the NFL’s top three tacklers in the playoffs in Jeremy Chinn (19 total tackles) and Bobby Wagner, a tandem abundantly aware of their mission Sunday. Wagner, who has 16 postseason tackles, didn’t practice Wednesday and Thursday. He plans to play through an ankle injury sustained late in the wild-card win at Tampa Bay.

The Chiefs have won all three playoff matchups, including the AFC championship game four years ago. The Bills ended Kansas City’s bid for a perfect season with a 30-21 victory in Week 11.

Saquon Barkley is unsure himself why exactly over the final 30 yards of a 78-yard scoring burst through the playoff snow in a run that whipped Philadelphia Eagles fans out of their frigid state and into a frenzy he cradled the football in his left hand and repeatedly smacked his helmet with his right hand.

This NFL season has come together as the finest in Saquon Barkley's seven-year career, with the Super Bowl just one win away.

Narrated by Philadelphia Eagles legend Brian Dawkins, the Gang Green franchise shared a hype video to social media ahead of the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders on January 26. "The path to the Super Bowl is through Philly," begins Dawkins' motivational words.
