The Philadelphia Eagles host the Washington Commanders in Sunday's NFC championship. It's about the exact scenario the franchise would have loved to manifest when the playoff bracket was set. On the other hand, Jayden Daniels is playing out of his mind and it was just last week that the Commanders went into Detroit and dismantled a heavily favored home team.
The Get Up crew dove into what losing this game would mean for Philadelphia and Dan Orlovsky did not mince words.
"This would be a colossal failure if Philly doesn't win this football game," Orlovsky said. "Colossal."
"This would be a colossal failure if Philly doesn't win this football game. Colossal."

Orlovsky ticked through the reasons in addition to the obvious one that it would crush fans and players alike as a golden opportunity passed by unrealized.
He believes the Eagles have the most talented roster in all of football, that they rightfully set aside Saquon Barkley's rushing record for the greater good of a Super Bowl, they are playing at home, and Daniels, for all his greatness, is still a rookie.
