Touchdowns propel the eagles to the NFC championship with a 31 7 win over the forty-niners mile Sanders at two scoring runs. The second book of 7 7 time for the birds who gained their fourth Super Bowl appearance. I can't even put in words, honestly. Drink them too for a lot of people on this team. I especially myself. But I mean, the job's not done. We didn't just get this for just to get there. Trying to win it all. We got one more game for the rest of our lives. And play our best ball, man. I'm gonna record it like black pretty. That's the game with an elbow injury that has a return, went back up quarterback Josh Johnson, suffered a concussion. I felt like it stretched out, just felt like really a lot of just shocks all over from my elbow down to my wrist, front and back. Just pain, really, all over. Christian McCaffrey had a touchdown run for San Francisco. Philly won easy despite limited production from quarterback Jalen hurts, who threw for 125 yards and ran for 39 yards in a touchdown. All hertz cared about was the victory and a shot at one more. I tried to what you guys say, enjoyed the moment, but my joy comes and winning. But I know the job isn't done. So I never I never always knew how far we come. I never knew how far we'd go, but I never said it couldn't be done.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, played with a high ankle sprain and attributed his success to the chief's training staff. At the end of the game there, I had to run to get the first down and got us into fill Lorraine. So credit to them. And then just trying to stay on it and we have two more weeks. So we got to keep doing it. The Super Bowl will have a bit of a sibling rivalry, as chiefs tight end Travis Kelce tries to take a Super Bowl from brother Jason, the eagle center. You won't see me talking too much trash because of how much respect on how much I love my brother, but it's definitely going to be a, it's going to be an emotional game. That's for sure. Bengals quarterback Joe burrow says they just didn't do enough when it mattered. He's got to find ways and it felt like that was the tide was turning our way. I felt like we were going to just find a way to win this game, but like I said, it didn't make the plays down the stretch. Mahomes and the chiefs also benefited from an unnecessary roughness penalty that moved the ball into field goal range. This will be the first time a pair of number one seed square off for the NFL title since 2018, when the eagles defeated the Patriots, 41 33 in Super Bowl 52. This will mark the 14th time, two number one seeds of met in the game, and the 6th Super Bowl 44. It will be Kelsey versus Kelsey on February 12th. Travis Kelce will represent the chief side of the family tree. Jason Kelce will be the center for the eagles. Philadelphia is one and two in super bowls, all plates since the 1980 season. The eagles lost super bowls 14 at 39 before winning the game in 2018. They also won three NFL championships between 1948 and 1960.

JK dobbins rushed for 59 yards while Huntley added 26 and also ran for a two point conversion. Joe burrow had three touchdown passes and the Bengals took advantage of a late fumble to beat the Patriots 22 18. The 7 or 8 pat's trail 22 zero and halftime before making a game of it. They got down to the Cincinnati 5 with just over a minute left, but the drive ended when Ramon ray Stevenson fumbled. Burrow threw for 375 yards. First half was about as good as it gets. And then after that, we kind of shot ourselves in the foot over and over and over again. Trenton Irwin had two touchdown grabs and tea Higgins snared 8 passes for 128 yards and a score to help the 11 and four Bengals stay atop the AFC north. The forty-niners continue to roll. Ryan Leung was there. The forty-niners have won 8 in a row as they outscored Washington 37 to 20. Brock purdy was 15 of 22 passing for 234 yards and two touchdowns.

" AP's board time Josh rowntree, we start in baseball where rain postponed one of the day's biggest games between the Yankees and twins. But in Kansas City, the guardians got a second straight victory, more from correspondent Greg eklund. Shane Bieber pitched 8 strong innings and gave up only four hits in the Cleveland guardians four one win over the Kansas City Royals. Innings is the ultimate indicator of success. The longer longer you pitch, the probably probably the better you're doing. So I'd say going deep into the ball game is the most important for me. And probably the rest of the staff as well. The only run off Bieber was a solo home run by Salvador Perez, at a pitch that was outside the strike zone and the right handed Perez went to the opposite field. A two run single by José Ramírez in the third, gave the guardians the lead for good. He has driven in 108 runs this year. A big series in the AL east Baltimore got past Toronto 9 6 as the Orioles pulled to three and a half games behind the Blue Jays for the AL's final wild card spot. The Cardinals topped the nationals four one Jose Quintana allowed a run over 5 innings as St. Louis leads the NL central now by 8 and a half games. We need this wing really important to try this series and you know keep going. The race. At the U.S. open, Caroline Garcia defeated 18 year old American coco golf 6 three 6 four to reach her first Grand Slam semifinal at age 28. The 17th seeded Garcia had lost both of her two previous matches against the 12th seed goth, but stretched her winning streak to 13 matches. In the NFL, Mike Tomlin announced that Mitch trubisky will be the starting quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their season opener and Cincinnati with rookie Kenny Pickett, the top back up.
