It turns out that you actually can go home again.

The Los Angeles Rams were forced to relocate away from SoFi Stadium in the first round of the playoffs, but if they can beat the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday then that’s exactly where L.A. will be playing in the NFC Championship game.

The Washington Commanders upset the Detroit Lions 45-31 in the divisional round on Saturday, meaning that the winner of Rams-Eagles will be hosting the Commanders in the NFC Championship. Not bad for a team that was only a four-seed going into the playoffs.

Because the Commanders are the 6 seed, they will be the lower-ranked seed against either the Eagles or Rams and therefore must go on the road again.

The Rams still have a huge hurdle to climb over in order to get that far. Sorry, make that a backwards hurdle.

The Commanders winning on Saturday only matters to L.A. if the Rams are able to beat Saquon Barkley’s Eagles. Philadelphia won the regular season matchup 37-20 and the Eagles have won 13 of their last 14 games.

Their only loss in that time was to the Commanders.

The NFL is either going to get an Eagles-Commaners or Rams-Commanders NFC Championship game, something nobody could have predicted a few months ago. Washington went 4-13 under Ron Rivera last season and turned the reins over to a rookie at quarteback, Jayden Daniels. Add into that, Dan Quinn was perhaps the most “ho hum” hire of the head coaching cycle, but nobody’s humming anymore.

Except Kliff Kingsbury.

The Commanders OC — also sort of a “laughingstock hire” last year — helped Washington set a franchise record with 45 points in a road playoff game. The Commanders have scored at least 30 points in 4 of their last 7 games.

So even if the Rams do beat the Eagles, they will have another huge test on deck.

And it will be at SoFi Stadium if that happens.
