In the snow, Saquon Barkley shreds the Rams defense, propelling the Eagles to the NFC championship game.

Saquon Barkley was called upon to deliver in a big spot.

With less than five minutes remaining in the divisional round playoff game on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles running back positioned himself next to quarterback Jalen Hurts in the shotgun formation. Despite the snowstorm that enveloped Lincoln Financial Field, Hurts glanced over at Barkley and said, "I got this."

Barkley seized the handoff and sprinted as if he had been launched from a cannon. He evaded a tackle and scored a 78-yard touchdown. He was confident he would achieve a touchdown from approximately 30 yards away.

The Eagles emerged victorious over the Rams, 28-22, as their fans cheered them on throughout the game.

With the weather worsening, Barkley became the driving force of the offense, running for a record 205 yards on 26 carries. He had two touchdowns in the game, including a 62-yard score in the first quarter.

"Barkley praised the elements of the game but was even more impressed with the atmosphere. He said, "Our fans are incredible. It was a tight game, but that's playoff football, and in the end, we emerged victorious.""

In the final minutes, Los Angeles received everything it had from Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, resulting in a 10-play, 70-yard drive that led to a touchdown pass to Coby Parkinson, bringing the game within one score.

Puka Nacua's incredible catch helped Stafford get Los Angeles down the field, allowing the Rams to recover the ball and make a final drive.

The Eagles' defense remained robust and compelled an incompletion on fourth down, resulting in a turnover and securing the game.

The Eagles' defense played a crucial role in their victory over the Rams. Although they allowed a stop on the final drive, they managed to force two fumbles that resulted in field goals. The six points gained from these turnovers proved to be the deciding factor in the game.

With 15 of 20 passes, Hurts had 128 passing yards and 70 rushing yards. Despite a 44-yard rushing touchdown to start the game, he was injured in the second quarter and couldn't run effectively for the rest of the game.

Stafford had a 26-of-44 passing record with 324 yards and two touchdowns. However, he was sacked five times, including on the final drive that intensified the pressure to obtain the first down.

The NFC Championship Game will feature Philadelphia facing off against the Washington Commanders next Sunday.
