The Eagles held on against the turnover-happy Rams on Sunday to advance to the NFC Championship Game for the second time in three seasons.
Barkley ran for a 62-yard score in the first half and stretched the lead in the fourth when he blew through a hole and ran untouched 78 yards for another touchdown. He smacked his helmet with his hand on his final snowy steps and flapped his arms once he hit the end zone, sliding into the snow in the late-game celebration.
The Eagles are set to host the NFC championship game for the fifth time since Lincoln Financial Field opened in 2003. Hurts threw for just 128 yards, his mobility hampered in the second half after he was fitted for a knee brace. He didn't miss any snaps but was easily mauled on the safety. He was sacked seven times.
Barkley had 118 total yards at the break, but the Rams' defense -- coming off a nine-sack effort against Minnesota -- sacked Hurts three times in the half. Hurts was sacked on consecutive plays to end the first half, a total loss of 16 yards that knocked the Eagles out of field goal range.
