          The Philadelphia Eagles are on to Super Bowl LIX after defeating the Washington Commanders 55-23 in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.

          The Eagles were led by 118 rushing yards and three touchdowns from Saquon Barkley, while quarterback Jalen Hurts had 246 passing yards and a touchdown -- plus three scores on the ground. Philadelphia -- which also forced four turnovers -- scored 55 points, the most in any conference championship game since the 1970 merger, according to ESPN Research.

          The win prompted reactions from around the sports world. New York Knicks stars Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns led the way, trolling their teammate Josh Hart multiple times.

          Noted Eagles fans, Brunson and Towns poked fun at Hart, a Commanders fan, as the game neared its end. Hart had trolled the Knicks guard and center after Washington came back to beat Philadelphia 36-33 in Week 16.

          Here are more of the reactions to the Eagles' victory over the Commanders.
