Former Seattle Seahawk legend Bobby Wagner is competing to get back to his third Super Bowl, but the odds seem to be against him. We are in halftime between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game, and Philly leads 27-12 at the intermission.
Wagner himself is doing all he can to help Washington’s struggling defense, which has had little effect against the Eagles’ dynamic offense. So far, the future Hall of Famer is leading the Commanders’ defense with five total tackles. Still, Wagner’s efforts have yielded little results, especially when it comes to Philadelphia running back Saquon Barkley.
Barkley has run rampant over Washington, already at 85 yards on nine carries and two touchdowns… including one on his very first carry, and Philly’s first play from scrimmage. Unfortunately, Wagner could have been in a clear position to make a play on Barkley, but he got tangled up with his own defensive linemen.

The Eagles will get the ball to start the third quarter. Head coach Dan Quinn – Seattle’s former defensive coordinator during their own Super Bowl years – will need to come up with incredible half time adjustments to get back in the big game.
