Narrated by Philadelphia Eagles legend Brian Dawkins, the "Gang Green" franchise shared a hype video to social media ahead of the NFC Championship against the Washington Commanders on January 26.

"The path to the Super Bowl is through Philly," begins Dawkins' motivational words.

The clip shows quick cuts of Eagles fans celebrating and slow-motion shots of the team working together in recent games, such as Philadelphia's 28-22 win over the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round.

"We clawed, we scratched and we fought to get here," Dawkins says. "We pushed through the pain and the pressure for this moment, for this hour!"

Dawkins' intensity with his words grows with every sentence.

"And now, the hunt continues. Now is when we reach deep inside and unlock what should not be unleashed. This is where we become the beast, the threat, the terror! This is who we are! This is why we're here! This is how we hunt!"

The video draws toward its conclusion with a replay of Saquon Barkley's game-sealing 78-yard touchdown run against the Rams. Finally, a graphic overlay of an Eagles logo with stylized texts reading, "LET'S HUNT" and "SEE YA SUNDAY" end the 89-second video.

Dawkins, a Pro Football Hall of Fame member nicknamed "Weapon X," played for the Eagles from 1996 to 2008. A five-time first-team All-Pro and nine-time Pro Bowler, Dawkins is a member of the Eagles Hall of Fame and had his No. 20 retired by Philadelphia in 2012.

If the Eagles win, then they will qualify for Super Bowl 59, the franchise's third appearance in the past eight years.
