Philadelphia is back in the big game following a one-year hiatus. The Eagles defeated the rival Washington Commanders to qualify for Super Bowl LIX, the franchise’s fifth-ever trip to a Super Bowl and third in the past eight years.

The previous record was held by the 1990 Buffalo Bills, who defeated the Raiders 51–3 in the AFC championship to reach Super Bowl XXV. More recently, Cam Newton and the Carolina Panthers put up 49 points against the Arizona Cardinals in order to punch their ticket to Super Bowl 50.

The Philadelphia Eagles have reached Super Bowl 59 after beating the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game of the NFL playoffs on Sunday. This success could result in offensive coordinator Kellen Moore leaving for a higher position currently open for the New Orleans Saints.
