George Kittle ruled out with Achilles injury, Eagles lead 13-10 at half

The San Francisco 49ers faced a significant setback in their playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles after tight end George Kittle was carted off the field with a right leg injury, later ruled as an Achilles injury. This injury could potentially sideline Kittle for the remainder of the postseason. The 49ers had already experienced a tough playoff loss in Philadelphia previously, when quarterback Brock Purdy sustained an elbow injury. Despite Kittle's injury, the 49ers managed to score a field goal in the second quarter but ended the first half trailing the Eagles 13-10.

During the game, Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown had a sideline exchange with head coach Nick Sirianni after failing to catch a pass from quarterback Jalen Hurts on third down, but tensions appeared to ease before halftime. Eagles running back Saquon Barkley led the team's ground game with 71 yards on 15 carries, while Brock Purdy completed 10-of-15 passes for 168 yards and
