It was three years ago in the NFC Championship Game when the Philadelphia Eagles trounced the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 to advance to Super Bowl LVII. Brock Purdy was injured in that game, hindering San Francisco’s chances.
Three years later, these teams square off in the NFC wild-card round. Both teams lost in Week 18 of the regular season. Similar to that NFC Championship Game, Philadelphia will host this contest as the No. 3 seed.
The Eagles have never lost at home in the playoffs with Nick Sirianni as head coach. They will be in tough facing a high-powered offense in Purdy and Christian McCaffrey. With San Francisco dealing with a plethora of injuries on defense, the Eagles will look to take advantage, despite their inconsistent offense.
