Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian makes his feelings known as $6.3B-worth Commanders fail to reach Super Bowl after crushing Eagles loss

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian showcased his unwavering support for the Washington Commanders during their NFC Championship game defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, January 26. A known Commanders fan, Ohanian highlighted the critical need for his team to neutralize the Eagles running back Saquon Barkley.

Ohanian shared his observations during the match, highlighting the strategic importance of tackling Barkley's threat. He wrote:

"We need an answer for Saquon."

The NFC Championship game at Lincoln Financial Field saw the Eagles secure a commanding 55-23 victory, marking their 15th win in the last 16 games and setting a record for the most points scored in an NFC Championship game.

The Eagles took an early lead, heading into halftime with a 27-15 advantage. Barkley immediately impacted with a 60-yard touchdown run on the team's first play from scrimmage. He amassed 118 yards on 15 carries, averaging 7.9 yards per carry, and scored three touchdowns.

Following the game, Ohanian acknowledged the Commanders' struggles to contain Barkley. Despite the loss, he expressed his pride in the Commanders' season, noting that they had exceeded his expectations.

"We couldn’t find an answer. 3 turnovers also makes it very hard. Still, this season exceeded all my expectations and I’m so proud of this team. Congrats, Eagles, y’all won this outright," Ohanian wrote.

Serena Williams' husband Alexis Ohanian shared a passionate and strategic message supporting his beloved Washington Commanders before their NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

In an X post on Sunday, Ohanian suggested that the Commanders should prioritize getting the ball to their key offensive player early in the game. He also advised the defense to focus on stopping Saquon Barkley, the Eagles' running back, by committing more defenders to the line of scrimmage.

Additionally, he anticipated that Commanders' tight end Zach Ertz, who previously played for the Eagles and has a history with the team, could have a standout performance against his former team.

"Feed your star on the first play of offense. Load the box against Saquon. And watch out for Ertz to have a big homecoming. Hail. @Commanders," Serena Williams' husband wrote.

This victory propelled the Eagles to Super Bowl LIX, marking their second appearance in three seasons under head coach Nick Sirianni. The Commanders reached the NFC Championship for the first time since 1991.
