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
Location: Lincoln Financial Field | Philadelphia

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

\"IanSun, January 11, 2026 at 2:33 PM PST<\/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

\"IanSun, January 11, 2026 at 2:03 PM PST<\/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

\"IanSun, January 11, 2026 at 2:01 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ian Casselberry<\/p>\n

The Eagles answered the 49ers\u2019 touchdown quickly with a scoring drive of their own.<\/p>\n

On third-and-goal from the 1, the tush push seemed like the natural call for Philadelphia. But the Eagles opted against a brotherly shove, instead calling an inside handoff to tight end Dallas Goedert. He swept around left end for the touchdown.<\/p>\n

However, Jake Elliott missed the extra point, doinking his kick off the left upright. So the 49ers keep a 1-point lead.<\/p>\n

Saquon Barkley introduces himself to the 49ers\u2019 defense by breaking off a 29-yard run following a 2-yard rush.<\/p>\n

The Eagles have a first-and-10 at the 49ers\u2019 32-yard line after Barkley\u2019s dash.<\/p>\n

The 49ers didn\u2019t have far to go after Demarcus Robinson\u2019s explosive 58-yard gain. Following an 11-yard catch by Christian McCaffrey and a 3-yard rush, Brock Purdy finds Robinson for a 2-yard score over the middle.<\/p>\n

Three minutes into the game, San Francisco has a 7-0 lead in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

\"IanSun, January 11, 2026 at 1:47 PM PST<\/p>\n

Ian Casselberry<\/p>\n

The 49ers began their opening drive with Christian McCaffrey running for a 1-yard loss. But that was followed up by a 58-yard weaving catch-and-run from Demarcus Robinson.<\/p>\n

Just like that, San Francisco has a first down at the Eagles\u2019 16-yard line.<\/p>\n

The San Francisco 49ers haven\u2019t typically been underdogs in the Kyle Shanahan era, but the 49ers closed as 5.5-point road underdogs at the Eagles.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the biggest postseason underdog that San Francisco has been since the 49ers were also +5.5 at the Packers in a Jan. 22, 2002 divisional round game.<\/p>\n

The 49ers won that game 13-10.<\/p>\n

The Eagles won the coin toss and deferred to the second half. San Francisco will be on offense to open this wild-card playoff matchup.<\/p>\n

The 49ers will get back starting left tackle Trent Williams this week, who\u2019s been out since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 17\u2019s win over the Chicago Bears.<\/p>\n

After missing each of the week\u2019s practices leading up to Week 18, Williams returned to action with two limited sessions on Thursday and Friday before being listed as \u201cquestionable\u201d for Sunday\u2019s game.<\/p>\n

The 49ers are 1-9 in games without Williams since 2023 \u2014 a huge win for Brock Purdy and the offense already without one of its top offensive weapons in WR Ricky Pearsall.<\/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":84146,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[5004,36310,69,71,70,8591,5001,4966,42143],"class_list":["post-84145","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-49ers","tag-brock-purdy","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-san-francisco","tag-seattle","tag-the-eagles","tag-the-niners"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84145","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=84145"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/84145\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/84146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=84145"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=84145"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=84145"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
