Countless plays pave the way toward a title when a team wins the Super Bowl.
On Saturday, the Philadelphia Eagles shared their top 10 plays from the 2024 NFL season.
At No. 10, a 67-yard touchdown pass from Jalen Hurts to A.J. Brown against the Green Bay Packers in Week 1 while in Sao Paulo, Brazil started off the list.
A first-quarter pick-six by C.J. Gardner-Johnson that went 69 yards to give the Eagles an early 7-0 lead against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 17 was listed at No. 9.
Next, a 45-yard touchdown strike in the end zone from Jalen Hurts to DeVonta Smith in the Eagles' Week 8 win over the Cincinnati Bengals came in eighth.
In the seventh slot, Saquon Barkley extended Philly's lead 20-7 against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 with a 70-yard touchdown run.

At No. 6, Smith appeared again on the list with a one-hand touchdown catch against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 9.
The fifth pick was Philadelphia's stunning 46-yard touchdown pass in Super Bowl LIX, again from Hurts to Smith, which gave the Eagles a 34-0 lead against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Ranked their fourth-best play, Barkley appeared for the second time for his 60-yard touchdown run, where he broke several tackles against the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship.
Cooper DeJean's 38-yard pick-six against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs was the second Super Bowl play on the list and the Eagles' third-best play in the 2024 season.
At No. 2 was Barkley's 78-yard touchdown run against the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round, a contest in which he finished with 205 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
Finally, the Eagles' No. 1 play for the 2024 season was Barkley's reverse hurdle play in Week 9 against the Jaguars. In taking a dump-off pass from Hurts on the left side of the field, Barkley broke one tackle, completed a spin move to brush off another defender and continued his body's momentum to leap up with his back turned to make a third defender miss.
With his forward progress slowing, Jacksonville's defense finally caught up to swarm tackle the 2024 AP Offensive Player of the Year to the ground.
Barkley gained just 14 yards on the play, but it certainly went down as one of the most memorable plays from Barkley's special first season with the Eagles.
