Eagles dominate injury-hampered 49ers to advance to Super Bowl (Los Angeles Times)

The Philadelphia Eagles are heading to the Super Bowl for the second time in six seasons after an injury to quarterback Brock Purdy derails the 49ers.

“It’s a dream come true for a lot of people on this team, especially myself,” Sanders said of moving on to the Feb. We’ve got one more game for the rest of our lives, and to play our best ball.” The defense was flagged three times on a 75-yard drive by the Eagles that resulted in a touchdown. “We put emphasis in the run game, get it to the second level and linebackers. Making matters even more bleak, Johnson had to leave the game with a concussion near the start of the third quarter. We felt Josh was going to go in there and execute our plan and give us a chance. In the waning moments, those delirious fans shout-sang Tom Petty’s “Won’t Back Down,” sending the visitors off into the chilly night. The 49ers had to send a seriously limited Purdy back out there, once running a direct snap to Christian McCaffrey. He was the one who raked the ball out of Purdy’s hand on the strip sack that sent him to the sideline, and near the end of the second quarter, Reddick recovered a 49ers fumble that set up a Philadelphia touchdown. Purdy was replaced by journeyman Josh Johnson, who has had 20 different NFL stops in a career that included stints in an alphabet soup of lesser leagues: the AFL, UFL and XFL. “Just felt like really a lot of shocks all over from my elbow down to my wrist, front and back. “My arm just felt like it stretched out,” Purdy said of the play in question.

Spadaro: THE EAGLES ARE NFC CHAMPIONS! (PhiladelphiaEagles.com)

The Eagles dominated the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 to advance to Super Bowl LVII!

The Eagles have been great from the start of the year and they continued it all the way through the NFC Championship Game. A couple of plays later, Hurts – under pressure – threw to Brown in the middle of the field and Brown made a pretty scooping catch for 10 yards and a first down. And then, on fourth-and-3 from the San Francisco 35-yard line, Hurts connected with wide receiver DeVonta Smith on a throw down the left sideline – a play that highlighted everything that both players are early in their careers. On Sunday, the party was epic, deserved, and pure joy. That's what the Eagles have been in a season of 16 wins in 19 games. The defense played physical, fundamental, and technically sound football, changed the course of the game with its pass rush, and took the ball away.

They were the top seed in the NFC this year at 14-3 and defeated the New York Giants along with the 49ers en route to Glendale. The last time Glendale held the event was on Feb. 1, 2015, when the Patriots defeated the Seattle Seahawks. Harrison Butker nailed it for the win. “Just to be able to do this together with a bunch of men that love each other, that are connected to each other, that will do anything for each other is pretty sweet.” Philadelphia was the first team to punch its ticket to the Super Bowl with a 31-7 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.

NFL Playoffs: Philadelphia Eagles heading to Super Bowl with ... (CNN)

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 31-7, on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, to advance to Super Bowl LVII.

To top it all off, Burrow is an even better quarterback than the last time these two met in an AFC title game. And in all three games, Cincinnati was either tied or behind to start the fourth quarter. If that game is any indicator of how things will go this weekend, the Chiefs should be ready for a battle. The pressure is also on the offensive linemen to keep Mahomes protected. They earned a week of rest in the Wild Card stage, took care of the Jaguars in the Divisional round, and are now exactly where they want to be. Mahomes will have to get creative with how he moves the ball up the field.

Game Recap: 49ers vs. Eagles (PhiladelphiaEagles.com)

The 49ers won the coin toss and elected to defer to the second half. The Eagles begin with the football. Miles Sanders, Kenneth Gainwell help Eagles regain ...

On the second play from scrimmage, a Miles Sanders run out of shotgun, middle linebacker Fred Warner suffered a stinger injury. The first quarter ended with the Eagles ahead 7-0. Because Edwards had the clear recovery, the Eagles take over at their own 44. Purdy was injured on the strip-sack by Reddick. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave sacked Josh Johnson, then on the next play knocked down a Johnson pass to help force a punt that was fair caught by Britain Covey at the Eagles' 6-yard line. In a two-snap sequence, Scott drew a facemask penalty against 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw to get the ball to the San Francisco 10-yard line. A weird sequence at the end of the first quarter. On the opening drive of the third quarter, defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh knocked quarterback Josh Johnson to the ground. Linval Joseph was credited with the first fumble recovery for the Eagles. The fourth rushing touchdown by the Eagles set a single-game playoff record. McCaffrey gained another 21 yards before the touchdown on three touchdowns, two short receptions. The third play enjoyed an added bonus after 49ers safety Talanoa Hufanga pushed Hurts after he was already out of bounds.

Super Bowl 2023: Kansas City Chiefs vs. Philadelphia Eagles (Variety)

Sunday's AFC and NFC championship games clinched the Feb. 12 lineup with teams that should be big draws for Fox in heartland NFL markets.

One notable Philadelphia Eagles fan was quick to take to social media to support the team’s quest for the NFL championship. The Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2020, beating the 49ers, and lost in 2021 to Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Eagles are making their second Super Bowl visit since 2018, when the team won for the first time in franchise history.

On third down, Mahomes scrambled and as he went out of bounds, Bengals defensive end Joseph Ossai pushed him and was called for a 15-yard unnecessary roughness penalty which put the Chiefs in field goal range. On fourth down, Burrow heaved the ball down the field and found Ja’Marr Chase for a 35-yard strike to move Cincinnati deep into Kansas City territory. On the Bengals’ first offensive possession of the second half, quarterback Joe Burrow found wide receiver Tee Higgins for a 27-yard touchdown to tie up the game at 13.

- With the line switching in favour of the Chiefs, coach Andy Reid’s team has now been favoured in 16 consecutive playoff games, the longest streak in post-season history. The lowest combined spread came way back in 1982 when Washington was the two-point pick over Dallas and Miami a one-point favourite over the Jets. The Eagles money arrived in a late surge, pushing the home favourites to a three-point margin at kick. The volatility, it turns out, was merited given the way business unfolded at Arrowhead. Ultimately, the line closed with the home team favoured by two. Bookmakers certainly had a difference of opinion, pegging it as a toss-up when Super Bowl lines popped up moments after Kansas City finished off their dramatic win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
