A dominant 55-23 victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday didn't come without petty trolls from the Philadelphia Eagles postgame.
Philadelphia amassed 459 total yards and forced four Washington turnovers. Running back Saquon Barkley ran for 118 yards and three of the Eagles' seven rushing touchdowns -- tied for the most in a playoff game in NFL history, according to ESPN Research.
The Philadelphia victory marked its fifth NFC championship in franchise history. The Eagles celebrated with a subtle caption on social media.

That wasn't the only jab at the Commanders.
Ahead of the NFC title game, Washington fans dressed the famous Rocky Statue in Philadelphia with Commanders team gear. A sign that read: "Yo Adrian HTTC" was placed on the bottom, a reference to the team's "Hail to the Commanders" chant and Rocky Balboa's call out to his wife, Adrian, after defeating Apollo Creed in "Rocky II."
The Eagles poked fun at that troll, bringing up instances when fans of the Minnesota Vikings and San Francisco 49ers did the same before their respective NFC Championship Game matchups. Philadelphia won both times.
The Eagles also posted an edited clip from "SpongeBob SquarePants" where Squidward grabs the George Halas trophy from a claw machine. The caption includes the "W" twice, likely indicating their two victories over the Commanders this season.
