49ers vs Eagles Preview
The top-seeded Eagles are fresh from a dominant 38-7 dismantling of the New York Giants in the divisional round. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts completed 16-of-24 passes for 154 yards and two touchdowns, also rushing for a score on the ground in the win.
The Eagles racked up 268 rushing yards in the victory, with running backs Kenneth Gainwell (112 yards and a touchdown) and Miles Sanders (90 yards, 5.3 yards per carry) gashing the Giants’ defense. They won’t have an easy a time against this 49ers unit.
The Niners boast the NFL’s best defense, surrendering a league-low 300.6 yards per contest.
“They’re really good all across the board,” Hurts said about San Francisco’s defense. “Starts off with the front seven, and then having a really good defensive back group. They fly to the ball. They’re disruptive at every position, as well. They’re well-coached. So, we have a task in front of us. We have a really good challenge, a really big challenge, in front of us, and as always, we just want to go out there and execute.”
On the other side, San Francisco took down the Seattle Seahawks in the wild-card round before handing Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys a 19-12 loss in the divisional round. Rookie QB Brock Purdy, who is an incredible 9-0 since he took over as the team’s starter for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo, went 19-of-29 for 214 yards. It was the first start in which Purdy didn’t throw a touchdown, so Philly’s defense will be looking to keep him uncomfortable all day.
“This part of the year, in this game specifically, it’s all mental,” 49ers All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner said. “Obviously everybody’s bodies are beaten down. Mentally you’re drained, but who can do it right longer? Who can continue to push through for the end goal? Do you want it that bad? Are you starving for this? Is it something that you’re going to get out of bed and do whatever possible to make sure that you attain that goal? So that’s where we’re at.”
The last time these two teams met was in Week 2 of 2021, when the 49ers won, 17-11, on the road at Philly. The stakes are quite a bit higher here.
“This is what you dream about since you’re a kid,” 49ers tight end George Kittle said. “You dream about it when you’re in high school, college and when you’re in the NFL you dream about situations like this. Whether it’s a hunger, a starvation, a desperation, you do everything you can to make sure at the end of the game that you’re going to win it.”
