Game Recap: 49ers vs. Eagles (PhiladelphiaEagles.com)

The 49ers won the coin toss and elected to defer to the second half. The Eagles begin with the football. Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell help Eagles regain ...

On the second play from scrimmage, a Miles Sanders run out of shotgun, middle linebacker Fred Warner suffered a stinger injury. The first quarter ended with the Eagles ahead 7-0. Because Edwards had the clear recovery, the Eagles take over at their own 44. Purdy was injured on the strip-sack by Reddick. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave sacked Josh Johnson, then on the next play knocked down a Johnson pass to help force a punt that was fair caught by Britain Covey at the Eagles' 6-yard line. In a two-snap sequence, Scott drew a facemask penalty against 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw to get the ball to the San Francisco 10-yard line. A weird sequence at the end of the first quarter. On the opening drive of the third quarter, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh knocked quarterback Josh Johnson to the ground. Linval Joseph was credited with the first fumble recovery for the Eagles. The fourth rushing touchdown by the Eagles set a single-game playoff record. McCaffrey gained another 21 yards before the touchdown on three touchdowns, two short receptions. The third play enjoyed an added bonus after 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga pushed Hurts after he was already out of bounds.

Eagles Return to Super Bowl as 49ers Break Down (The New York Times)

Five years after winning it all, Philadelphia beat San Francisco, 31-7, to claim the N.F.C. championship.

Sirianni and Hurts made the playoffs in their first year together, in 2021, but Hurts entered this season with questions about whether he could be the franchise’s cornerstone. Green confetti fell, followed by the blaring of the rapper Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares,” which has become an anthem for the city of Philadelphia. Those three led a defense that harassed the 49ers and limited them to only 164 total yards of offense. Johnson, before he exited, completed just 7 of 13 passes for 74 yards and also fumbled on a mishandled snap, which the Eagles recovered. He became just the fifth rookie quarterback to start in a conference championship game, aided by stout coaching and a superb roster. Johnson left the game early in the second half with a concussion, and Purdy returned, but he was clearly compromised. Reddick signed with the Eagles before the season, joining the team with cornerback James Bradberry, who was released by the Giants last May, and safety C.J. The Eagles have been one of the most complete teams in the league this season, and they showed that again on Sunday. After the Eagles scored on their opening possession, linebacker Haason Reddick sacked Purdy with about seven minutes remaining in the first quarter, causing a fumble. Purdy injured his right, throwing elbow on the play, and he sat out for the remainder of the first half. “You see this city and the passion they have for this team. There were still 30 minutes left to play on Sunday, but with the Eagles holding a two-possession lead and their N.F.L.-best pass rush facing a fourth-string quarterback, the touchdown seemed like an exclamation point.

Eagles rout 49ers to win NFC championship, advance to Super Bowl (ESPN)

The Eagles' defense knocked two 49ers QBs out of the game -- and the offense ran for a franchise-record four touchdowns -- to lead Philly to the Super Bowl.

[Trey Lance](http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4383351/trey-lance) would have been able to save the day. But Smith was unsure that he caught it and alertly got his teammates to the line of scrimmage to try to snap the ball before the 49ers could see a replay and issue a challenge. Or maybe [Jimmy Garoppolo](http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/16760/jimmy-garoppolo) could have put the finishing touches on a remarkable reunion tour. He's the first player with a postseason rush TD with at least 25 YAC since Jamaal Charles had one for the Chiefs in the 2010 AFC wild-card round. Then, a clobbering of the best the NFC had to offer, the San Francisco 49ers, in the NFC Championship Game. Purdy suffered an elbow injury and Johnson left the game with a concussion, forcing Purdy back in and McCaffrey to handle some quarterback snaps. The Niners turned to Johnson, their fourth quarterback of the season, who was signed from the Denver Broncos' practice squad on Dec. Underrated stat to know: Entering this year, the Eagles had rushed for three or more touchdowns in a playoff game only once in their history. In the first half alone, when this game was won, Reddick had two sacks, three pressures, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. QB breakdown: It was tough sledding against one of the best defenses in the league. And a defensive unit that paced the league with 70 sacks had three and seven QB hits despite limited dropbacks because of the injuries to 49ers quarterbacks All four of the Eagles' touchdowns were rushing TDs -- including two by running back [Miles Sanders](http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4045163/miles-sanders).

On third down, Mahomes scrambled and as he went out of bounds, Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai pushed him and was called for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty which put the Chiefs in field goal range. On fourth down, Burrow heaved the ball down the field and found Ja’Marr Chase for a 35-yard strike to move Cincinnati deep into Kansas City territory. On the Bengals’ first offensive possession of the second half, quarterback Joe Burrow found wide receiver Tee Higgins for a 27-yard touchdown to tie up the game at 13.

"I know I've been through a lot personally, but I don't want to steer away from the direction of how good this team has been at playing together, being together, and challenging one another.

Hurts quickly exchanged his NFC champions T-shirt for a purple suit and sunglasses as the on-field celebration spilled into the locker room.

The All-Pro edge rusher for all intents and purpose knocked Brock Purdy out of the game and was involved in two takeaways.

It's a blessing." "It's a blessing. Purdy was unable to throw the ball down the field and the Eagles' defense smothered San Francisco the rest of the way. It's been that way all season for Reddick, signed as an unrestricted free agent and was the perfect addition to a defense that struggled mightily last season to reach the quarterback. "At the end of the day, I'm just glad to be any type of help, any type of asset to this team at the end of the day. That big Reddick play changed the dynamic of the game as the 49ers largely became a one-dimensional, run-the-football offense.

With Purdy hurt, San Francisco turned to 36-year-old journeyman Josh Johnson, who couldn’t do much before eventually leaving with a concussion. This one was decided by a field goal, too, and all Burrow could do was watch. They’ve looked dominant in the playoffs so far, also beating the New York Giants 38-7 in the divisional round.

And when they arrived in the playoffs and started playing games, they blew away their opponents by a combined score of 69-14 en route to the last game of the season. The Eagles are headed to the Super Bowl because they showed up for an entire season, including in the playoffs, and the rest of the NFC largely didn't. If the 49ers hadn't been so bad at the beginning of the season they might've had a chance at that No. Now the Eagles have one shot at immortality, against one of the two best teams in the AFC. This is what happens when you're the best team in football for an entire season. But week after week, Eagles fans have to feel great about the guy in charge of their team.

Jalen Hurts was just a bit off in the passing game, the ground game was held under 4.0 yards/attempt in the first half, and things felt... That's not luck, and it's not simply "getting breaks": it was a result of the defense cooking Kyle Shanahan's guys when they had the ball. The 49ers' defense was clearly gassed as a result, and kept taking bad penalties because they were just straight-up exhausted. The Eagles' offense didn't look much like the explosive unit that sat near the top of the league in basically every key stat this year.

The Eagles were clearly the more disciplined team in this game too. And Britain Covey had three fair catches in tight areas where the Eagles couldn’t afford a muff. The Eagles challenged the right call on the Purdy fumble and Kyle Shanahan kept the red flag in his pocket when he should have challenged the Smith catch.

The Eagles’ vaunted defensive line made Sunday a nightmare for Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson. Because as good as that run defense is, the Eagles’ offensive line is better. 1 run defense in the NFL. The tight ends helped the Eagles pick up some gritty yards, especially in the second half. Overall, the production from the Eagles’ receivers wasn’t overwhelming. In addition to Gainwell’s big game, Miles Sanders ran for two scores and Boston Scott ran for one. Hurts did make some big plays in crucial moments and rushed for a touchdown in the third quarter to cap a 15-play, 91-yard, 7:50 drive.

The All-Pro tackle didn't allow a quarterback sack or hit on Sunday against one of the league's best defensive lines.

In the NFC Divisional Playoff Game, Johnson took on a bull rush in pass protection and felt pain and he had a moment of concern and "then it just kind of settled in and I've been fine ever since."

The Eagles are now 16-1 with Hurts as their quarterback this season. “We put a lot of work in to have this opportunity and to be here it’s a moment we want to enjoy as a team,” Hurts said. He is a terrific young quarterback,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said. “We’re reflecting on everything we’ve overcome to have this opportunity in front of us and we want to take advantage of it.

Philadelphia fans are hoping the city's inglorious sporting history won't haunt them when the Eagles meet Kansas City in the Super Bowl.

Sunday’s postgame celebrations “exploded like an uncorked bottle of champagne,” The Philadelphia Inquirer noted Sunday night’s celebration appeared to get carried away when some Eagles fans were shown on video riding the back bumper of an ambulance as medics sought to aid an unconscious person, according to the The surging 76ers have seemingly become contenders in the N.B.A.

The Kansas City Chiefs will face the Philadelphia Eagles in the ... (Valley Public Radio)

Super Bowl 57 is set with the AFC champion Kansas City Chiefs taking on the NFC champion Philadelphia Eagles. The big game will be played in Glendale, ...

A rookie drafted dead last in the NFL draft - he got the starting job because of injuries to the top two San Francisco quarterbacks. So a quick look forward to Super Bowl LVII in Arizona. In the first quarter, San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy got hit by an Eagles defender, injured his throwing arm. And then he led the 49ers on a 12-game win streak heading into yesterday's game. Mahomes has been in the league since 2017, and he has become, by consensus, the NFL's best quarterback. He played in the Super Bowl last season. He got a 15-yard penalty for it. The Chiefs beat Cincinnati 23-20 on a last-second field goal, while the Eagles dominated the San Francisco 49ers 31-7. All right, so let's start with the close game for the AFC championship. Let me first say to Philly fans, A, so they don't get too annoyed, the Eagles were dominant on offense and defense, and they are an absolutely worthy Super Bowl contestant. Did their game match the hype? Super Bowl LVII is set, as the Philadelphia Eagles will play the Kansas City Chiefs in a couple of weeks.

Brock Purdy explains saddest part of 49ers' season-ending loss to ... (NBC Sports Bay Area)

Quarterback Brock Purdy was injured, but his thoughts were with his 49ers teammates following their loss to the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

“I am just frustrated, but sadder for those guys more than anything because they deserve to go and to win the whole thing.” Purdy said. The 49ers were 8-0 with him at quarterback after he took over for Jimmy Garoppolo in the first quarter of the [team’s Week 13 game](https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/49ers-observations-brock-purdy-replaces-injured-jimmy-garoppolo-fuels-win) against the Miami Dolphins. He described the pain as “shocks all over from my elbow down to my wrist, front and back.” Purdy sustained the injury to his throwing arm when Eagles edge rusher Haason Reddick beat 49ers tight end Tyler Kroft and hit Purdy’s arm as he was throwing. The 49ers held a 10-point fourth-quarter lead against the Kansas City Chiefs, who reeled off 21 unanswered points to win the game. All the guys that have been through this.”

What we learned from Eagles-49ers: The secret to Howie ... (The Philadelphia Inquirer)

Most NFL GMs are risk averse. Roseman's aggressiveness may be his calling card. Several of his acquisitions stood out on Sunday.

He was seen with a brace on his arm after the game and was at the NovaCare Complex on Monday receiving treatment, according to a team source. The Eagles weren’t a good tackling defense in the first half of the season, but they turned it around. But Jobe got caught responding to an altercation — it’s always the second guy — and the Eagles can’t have stupid penalties in the Super Bowl. It was tough sledding for the Eagles in the running game, but the 49ers’ quarterback situation allowed Sirianni and Steichen to pound the ball on the ground and 3.4 yards per rush was more than enough to seal the outcome. When he left with a concussion in the third quarter and it was clear Purdy couldn’t throw, the game was over. It wasn’t until he fumbled a snap that the game started to get out of hand. Lurie spent a good portion of his interview after the game emphasizing the significance of Nick Sirianni and the coaching staff he has assembled. The Eagles quarterback had arguably his toughest outing of the season. And he’s one of the best at it in the entire world. But Roseman transformed the defense from one that struggled to stop the run and get to the quarterback last season to arguably the best unit in the NFL. Barnett suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 1, but Cox adapted to a lesser role and has produced when the lights have shined the brightest, as has been his knack over an 11-year career with the Eagles. Gardner-Johnson missed one too many tackles — more on that later — but he has brought an athleticism to the middle that was solely missing last season.
