49ers hold on for 23-19 win in Philadelphia
Our Summary
The Philadelphia Eagles will not repeat as Super Bowl champions after a 23-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Christian McCaffrey scored two second-half touchdowns, including one from a pass by wide receiver Jauan Jennings and another from quarterback Brock Purdy, to secure the victory. The 49ers' defense stopped the Eagles on a crucial fourth down in the final minute to seal the win.
The loss means the Eagles' offseason begins earlier than expected, while the 49ers advance to face the Seattle Seahawks, looking to avenge a Week 18 loss. The win also sets up a divisional round matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Chicago Bears.
Key plays included a fourth down conversion by Eagles' tight end Dallas Goedert, but the team ultimately stalled at the 20-yard line. The Eagles struggled offensively in the second half, with three three-and-outs and two field goals by Jake Elliott.
The 49ers will head to Seattle without tight end
