Record-Breaking Eagles Take Flight to Super Bowl LIX as Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley Redefine NFL History

The Philadelphia Eagles continue to raise the bar with each passing season, and this year has been no exception. In their march to Super Bowl LIX, the team and its players shattered multiple league and franchise postseason records, cementing their place in NFL history.

Jalen Hurts delivered a historic performance, rushing for three touchdowns against the Commanders, bringing his playoff total to 10 rushing scores. This feat broke Steve Young’s long-standing record, making Hurts the quarterback with the most rushing touchdowns in a single postseason. The Eagles’ dominance extended beyond individual performances, as they racked up 55 points in the NFC Championship game—an all-time record for the most points scored in a Conference Championship game, surpassing the Carolina Panthers’ 49-point showing in 2015.

Head coach Nick Sirianni etched his name into the history books as well, becoming the only head coach in NFL history to lead his team to two Super Bowls without missing the playoffs in his first four seasons. On defense, rookie Nolan Smith set a franchise record with four sacks through three postseason games, proving his value on the biggest stage.

Adding to the intrigue, Saquon Barkley is on the verge of history, needing just 30 more yards to surpass Terrell Davis’ 1998 record of 2,476 combined rushing yards in a single season. As Super Bowl LIX approaches, the Eagles are poised to make even more history.
