How did the Philadelphia Eagles reach the 2023 NFL Championship?
The Eagles reached the showpiece event after going 14-3 during the regular season, a record good enough to see them win the NFC East for a 12th time ahead of the Dallas Cowboys.
They also secured the number one seed in the NFC, giving them a bye through the first round of the playoffs and home advantage throughout the postseason.
When they did enter the playoffs, they dispatched the New York Giants 38-7 in the Divisional Round before a resounding 31-7 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship.
Who is the Philadelphia Eagles starting QB?
Jalen Hurts has been playing quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles since 2020 after being drafted in the second round following a successful stint in college where he played for Alabama, followed by Oklahoma.
Having been initially drafted as the back-up to Carson Wentz, Hurts succeeded Wentz as the starting quarterback in December 2020, but it wasn't until 2021 that the Philadelphia fanbase began to see the best of the 24-year-old.
Hurts led all quarterbacks in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2021 and has kicked on this season, improving his throwing accuracy to become a true dual-threat QB.
Hurts was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2022 and was also included on the five-man shortlist to be regular season MVP.
