Eagles make NFL playoff history against Rams, becoming the first team in the Super Bowl era to accomplish this impressive feat

When the Philadelphia Eagles played the Los Angeles Rams during the regular season, the Eagles scored 314 rushing yards in a 37–20 victory. The first quarter of their rematch was a clear indication that they would be close to that number again in the divisional round of the playoffs.

The Eagles rushed for 115 yards in the first quarter, and a big reason they were able to do so was that they accomplished a feat that no NFL team had accomplished in the postseason in over 60 years: their Pass 40 had two touchdown runs. Yards or more.

He would rack up 285 rushing yards in a 28–22 victory over the Rams.

The first score came on Philadelphia’s opening drive when Jalen Hurts took off for a 44-yard touchdown, setting a franchise record for longest scoring run by a quarterback in the postseason.

That score gave the Eagles an early 6–0 lead after Jake Elliott missed the extra point.

After the Rams responded with a touchdown, the Eagles struck again and this time it was Saquon Barkley.

The Eagles running back, who ran for a career-high 255 yards in Philly’s first meeting with the Rams, had a 62-yard run there.

With this score, Barkley became the second player in NFL history to have three runs of 60 yards against the same team in the same season, including the playoffs (in their first meeting, Barkley had 70 and 72). Yards scored).

The two touchdowns made the Eagles the first team in the Super Bowl era to have two scoring runs of 40 yards or more in the same quarter. The last time this happened before the first Super Bowl was when the Chargers did it in the 1963 AFL playoffs against the Patriots.

This marked the first time that a team had two runs of 40 yards or more (regular season or postseason) since 2013 when the Eagles did so against the Lions. Coincidentally, this occurred in a snow game where the Eagles were facing a Matthew Stafford-led team, which was the exact matchup that occurred in Sunday’s divisional round playoff game.
