PHILADELPHIA-The Philadelphia Eagles are on the road to victory after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game 31-7 Sunday. The Eagles dominated their competition after the 49ers suffered several set backs with their third and fourth string quarterbacks getting injured. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts scored one of the four touchdowns in Sunday's game and helped lead his team to Super Bowl LVII.

The Eagles are looking to repeat their success five years after their first Super Bowl win. The team will face off against former Eagles Coach Andy Reid and the Kansas City Chiefs on February 12th in Arizona.
