Eagles

Five years after winning it all, Philadelphia beat San Francisco, 31-7, to claim the N.F.C. championship.

Sirianni and Hurts made the playoffs in their first year together, in 2021, but Hurts entered this season with questions about whether he could be the franchise’s cornerstone. Green confetti fell, followed by the blaring of the rapper Meek Mill’s “Dreams and Nightmares,” which has become an anthem for the city of Philadelphia. Those three led a defense that harassed the 49ers and limited them to only 164 total yards of offense. Johnson, before he exited, completed just 7 of 13 passes for 74 yards and also fumbled on a mishandled snap, which the Eagles recovered. He became just the fifth rookie quarterback to start in a conference championship game, aided by stout coaching and a superb roster. Johnson left the game early in the second half with a concussion, and Purdy returned, but he was clearly compromised. Reddick signed with the Eagles before the season, joining the team with cornerback James Bradberry, who was released by the Giants last May, and safety C.J. The Eagles have been one of the most complete teams in the league this season, and they showed that again on Sunday. After the Eagles scored on their opening possession, linebacker Haason Reddick sacked Purdy with about seven minutes remaining in the first quarter, causing a fumble. Purdy injured his right, throwing elbow on the play, and he sat out for the remainder of the first half. “You see this city and the passion they have for this team. There were still 30 minutes left to play on Sunday, but with the Eagles holding a two-possession lead and their N.F.L.-best pass rush facing a fourth-string quarterback, the touchdown seemed like an exclamation point.

The Eagles' defense knocked two 49ers QBs out of the game -- and the offense ran for a franchise-record four touchdowns -- to lead Philly to the Super Bowl.

[Trey Lance](http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4383351/trey-lance) would have been able to save the day. But Smith was unsure that he caught it and alertly got his teammates to the line of scrimmage to try to snap the ball before the 49ers could see a replay and issue a challenge. Or maybe [Jimmy Garoppolo](http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/16760/jimmy-garoppolo) could have put the finishing touches on a remarkable reunion tour. He's the first player with a postseason rush TD with at least 25 YAC since Jamaal Charles had one for the Chiefs in the 2010 AFC wild-card round. Then, a clobbering of the best the NFC had to offer, the San Francisco 49ers, in the NFC Championship Game. Purdy suffered an elbow injury and Johnson left the game with a concussion, forcing Purdy back in and McCaffrey to handle some quarterback snaps. The Niners turned to Johnson, their fourth quarterback of the season, who was signed from the Denver Broncos' practice squad on Dec. Underrated stat to know: Entering this year, the Eagles had rushed for three or more touchdowns in a playoff game only once in their history. In the first half alone, when this game was won, Reddick had two sacks, three pressures, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. QB breakdown: It was tough sledding against one of the best defenses in the league. And a defensive unit that paced the league with 70 sacks had three and seven QB hits despite limited dropbacks because of the injuries to 49ers quarterbacks All four of the Eagles' touchdowns were rushing TDs -- including two by running back [Miles Sanders](http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4045163/miles-sanders).

Hurts quickly exchanged his NFC champions T-shirt for a purple suit and sunglasses as the on-field celebration spilled into the locker room.

Purdy left the game with an elbow injury after he was drilled in the arm by Reddick on San Francisco’s first drive. Smith popped up and frantically waved the Eagles to the line. “We've got a chance to go out there and win it all,” Hurts said.

Purdy said he was unable to throw the ball more than 10 yards after his elbow got hurt. Williams yanked Wallace from behind and slammed him to the ground. Hurts had a modest game by his standards after a season in which he was a finalist for MVP. He was 15-of-25 passing for 121 yards and ran for 39, improving to 16-1 as a starter this season. Miles Sanders ran for two touchdowns and linebacker Haason Reddick made the hit that forced 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy out of the game with an elbow injury.

He broke three tackles on a 23-yard touchdown run that made it 7-7 in the second quarter. Purdy left the game with an elbow injury after he was drilled in the arm by Reddick on San Francisco’s first drive. “We’ve got a chance to go out there and win it all,” Hurts said. His 1-yard rushing touchdown on Philadelphia’s signature rugby-style QB sneak made it 28-7 late in the third quarter.

McCaffrey a été le meneur chez les 49ers avec des gains de 1403 verges à partir de la ligne de mêlée et 12 touchés en saison régulière et depuis le début des éliminatoires, même s’il ne s’est joint à l’équipe que lors de la septième semaine d’activités. Il a ajouté 51 verges lors du match éliminatoire contre les Cowboys de Dallas la semaine dernière. Sur la séquence, Purdy a perdu le contrôle du ballon qui a été récupéré par les Eagles. La malchance des 49ers au poste de quart a finalement été trop difficile à surmonter et ils ont vu leur séquence de 12 victoires prendre fin. La troupe de San Francisco a abandonné le jeu aérien, et ce, même si elle tirait de l’arrière par plusieurs touchés. Tous les gars dans cette équipe ont rêvé à ça pendant toute leur vie, a mentionné Sirianni.

Super Bowl LVII is officially set. The Kansas City Chiefs will represent the AFC and the Philadelphia Eagles the NFC.

The Pro Bowl debuted in January 1951 in Los Angeles and stayed there for 21 seasons before the game moved to different cities from 1972-80. The singer said she turned down a similar opportunity for the 2019 Super Bowl that was ultimately headlined by Maroon 5. The NFC title game was a blowout.

Her most recent album was 2016′s “Anti.” Rihanna last performed publicly at the Grammy Awards in 2018. Mahomes was out of bounds when Ossai gave him a shove, sending both players tumbling to the turf. Hopefully, there’ll be a lot of interactions with the fans and guys will get their opportunity to go out there and show some skills. The Chiefs-Bengals game looked as if it was going to overtime before Ossai's ill-advised play. With Purdy hurt, San Francisco turned to 36-year-old journeyman Josh Johnson, who couldn't do much before eventually leaving with a concussion. This one was decided by a field goal, too, and all Burrow could do was watch. Niners rookie quarterback Brock Purdy was injured in the first quarter when Eagles linebacker Haason Reddick drilled his right arm on a play that was ruled a fumble.

Within a couple of hours, that spread had flipped to Eagles -2.5. This is the Morning Coffee for Monday January 30th, 2023. While my Super Bowl 57 prediction that the Bengals would beat the Eagles and the +4500 wager that came with it is done, I’ll still carry over one more pending wager with Philadelphia to win it all at +250. Djokovic was the heavy favourite to win the US Open at -125 pre-tournament. I believe the Eagles will close as a small favourite and that it’s very likely that the outright winner covers the spread at FanDuel. In the early morning hours, at least a couple of notable sports books had already pushed the spread to Philadelphia -2.5. I doubled down on the Eagles at -2.5 before kick-off on Sunday. The Kansas City Chiefs opened as a 1.5-point favourite for their Super Bowl 57 showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles at FanDuel. While you could still bet the Eagles -1.5 at FanDuel this morning if you like that side, I think the window to bet Chiefs +2.5 won’t be open long. Eagles Flip From Super Bowl 57 Underdog To Favourite At FanDuel Some sports books had already moved the number to Eagles -2.5 in the early Monday morning hours.
