San Francisco and Philadelphia will do battle one more time in the postseason<\/a>, this time for a chance to advance to the divisional round. The Eagles beat the 49ers in January 2023 in the NFC title game, 31-7. San Francisco bounced back to beat Philly the following December, 42-19. The three meetings between these teams have been played in Philadelphia, with the Niners holding a 2-1 edge.<\/p>\n

The 49ers had a rough patch in the middle of the season, going 3-3 following a 3-1 start. Sitting at 6-4 in November, some had begun to write the Niners off. But then the team got Brock Purdy back from injury and reeled off six consecutive wins <\/a>before dropping the final game of the season to Seattle last week. That loss cost the 49ers the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage in the playoffs. With the Super Bowl in Santa Clara this year, San Francisco could have potentially played at home for the entire postseason.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia won its third NFC East title in four years but also struggled down the stretch. The Eagles went 3-4 from Week 12 on and even lost three in a row during that time before bouncing back to win three straight. Philly closed the season with a loss to Washington due in large part to head coach Nick Sirianni resting starters despite still having a chance to win the No. 2 <\/a>seed in the NFC.<\/p>\n

49ers-Eagles start time: 4:30 p.m. ET

Philadelphia began the second half with an 8-yard run by Saquon Barkley, apparently getting back to running the ball.<\/p>\n

But Barkley was tackled for a 1-yard loss on the next play, followed by Jalen Hurts missing him with a short pass on third-and-3 from the Eagles\u2019 37-yard line.<\/p>\n

Braden Mann punts 58 yards and the 49ers will begin their series on their 5-yard line.<\/p>\n

Nick Sirianni confronting A.J. Brown on the Eagles\u2019 sideline was a notable visual from the first half.<\/p>\n

Brown had 3 catches for 25 yards, targeted five times by Jalen Hurts.<\/p>\n

Devonta Smith: 4 catches, 26 yards<\/p>\n

Brock Purdy completed a 15-yard pass to Demarcus Robinson and 14-yard throw to Jake Tonges, but it\u2019s not enough to get the 49ers to the Eagles\u2019 44-yard line.<\/p>\n

On third-and-5, Purdy ran for 7 yards but fumbled the ball out of bounds. One second was left on the clock. But since Purdy was in bounds when he fumbled, a 10-second runoff ends the first half. No field goal try for the 49ers.<\/p>\n

San Francisco\u2019s defense steps up after getting a field goal, forcing the Eagles to punt. A false start penalty on Fred Johnson didn\u2019t help Philadelphia\u2019s cause.<\/p>\n

The 49ers will take over on offense with 1:51 remaining from their 23-yard line following a 43-yard punt by Braden Mann.<\/p>\n

The 49ers close the Eagles\u2019 lead to 13-10 on a 36-yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro.<\/p>\n

That finished off a 59-yard drive that stalled in the red zone despite Christian McCaffrey gaining 9 yards on two carries. He was stopped for -1 yard on third-and-1 at the Philadelphia 17-yard line.<\/p>\n

San Francisco tight end George Kittle was carted off the field after suffering an apparent ankle injury to begin the 49ers\u2019 latest drive.<\/p>\n

With Kittle grabbing at the back of his ankle, the fear might be that he sustained an Achilles injury.<\/p>\n

Fox Sports rule analyst Dean Blandino explained why the illegal man downfield flag was picked up.<\/p>\n

Eagles lineman Cam Jurgens was more than a yard downfield before Jalen Hurts threw the ball. But he was engaged in a block and could drive the defender downfield, making the play legal.<\/p>\n

\"IanSun, January 11, 2026 at 2:36 PM PST<\/p>\n

Dallas Goedert has his second touchdown of the game for the Eagles, catchng a 9-yard pass from Jalen Hurts to take the lead.<\/p>\n

Initially, it appeared that the touchdown might be negated by an illegal lineman downfield but that flag was picked up. The score completed a 94-yard, 16-play drive that took nine minutes.<\/p>\n

Saquon Barkley dashes for a 20-yard gain on second-and-6 from the 50-yard line, moving the Eagles to the 49ers\u2019 30-yard line.<\/p>\n

A false start penalty on Jahan Dotson appeared to stall the Eagles\u2019 drive, pushing them to third-and-14 from their 43-yard line.<\/p>\n

Jalen Hurts hit Devonta Smith for a 13-yard gain, just short of the line to gain. But Philadelphia followed up with the tush push for the first down.<\/p>\n

After battering San Francisco with the run, the Eagles are mixing up their plays as the second quarter begins. Jalen Hurts has passed on two of three plays this possession, connecting with A.J. Brown for 7 yards and Devonta Smith for 9 yards.<\/p>\n

\"IanSun, January 11, 2026 at 2:18 PM PST<\/p>\n

Philadelphia\u2019s defense forces another three-and-out for the 49ers. San Francisco manages only 3 yards combined on a rush by Christian McCaffrey and scramble by Brock Purdy.<\/p>\n

Thomas Morstead punts 43 yards from the Eagles\u2019 49-yard line, pushing Philadelphia to its 6-yard line to begin its next possession.<\/p>\n

\"IanSun, January 11, 2026 at 2:14 PM PST<\/p>\n

The Eagles\u2019 determination to run may have caught up with them on the sixth play of this drive. On third-and-2, Saquon Barkley is tackled for no gain at the 49ers\u2019 48-yard line.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia opts to go for it on fourth-and-2, but Jalen Hurts\u2019 pass to Devonta Smith is knocked away by Upton Stout.<\/p>\n

\"IanSun, January 11, 2026 at 2:07 PM PST<\/p>\n

San Francisco is forced to punt on its next possession, failing to get a first down after a 4-yard rush from Christian McCaffrey and 3-yard reception by Demarcus Robinson.<\/p>\n

Thomas Morstead punts 35 yards into the wind and the Eagles will take over at their 35-yard line.<\/p>\n

Whether or not it was the intention for the opening drive or a game-long strategy, the Eagles ran Saquon Barkley at the 49ers heavily. The running back had six carries for 45 yards on that first possession.<\/p>\n

Jalen Hurts completed all three of his passes on the drive for 17 yards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"San Francisco and Philadelphia will do battle one more time in the postseason, this time for a chance…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":407150,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[5381,64,63,6583,593,5136,6113,5142,85,23821,118731],"class_list":["post-407149","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-49ers","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-brock-purdy","tag-nfl","tag-philadelphia","tag-san-francisco","tag-seattle","tag-sports","tag-the-eagles","tag-the-niners"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407149","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=407149"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/407149\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/407150"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=407149"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=407149"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=407149"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
