Shawn Hochuli, the chief referee in the NFC championship game, raised a few eyebrows Sunday when he turned his microphone on and announced to the football-watching world that he was on the verge of awarding the Eagles points because of repeated offside penalties by the Washington Commanders.

After meeting twice in the regular season, the Commanders and Eagles will meet for a third time on Sunday, in the NFC Championship Game. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni says that makes it incumbent on both coaching staffs to come up with schemes that the opponent hasn’t seen before.

Commanders tight end Zach Ertz - record-holder for every statistic by a tight end in Eagles history - got into an altercation with Nick Sirianni after Washington's 36-33 win in Week 16 this year. Reports after the game stated that Sirianni took offense to Ertz's celebration and the two needed to be separated after a short argument.
