49ers turn to 4th QB Josh Johnson after Brock Purdy hurts elbow (ESPN)

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy suffered a right elbow injury on San Francisco's sixth offensive snap and is questionable to return.

It bounced off Purdy's elbow and flew forward to Philadelphia's 44, where Eagles defensive tackle [Linval Joseph](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/13281/linval-joseph) recovered. [Brandon Aiyuk](https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/_/id/4360438/brandon-aiyuk) down the left side. Purdy, who became the fifth rookie quarterback to start a conference championship game, was 2-of-2 for 19 yards at the time of the injury.

Purdy suffered the injury after Eagles linebacker Haason Reddick hit his arm while attempting a throw causing a fumble on the play.

Johnson was also hit by Eagles by Eagles linebacker Ndamukong Suh and left the game, forcing Purdy back in. But injuries to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo pressed Purdy into service. Purdy was replaced by backup Josh Johnson.

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.

Philadephia Eagles defeat San Francisco 49ers to advance to Super ... (NFL.com)

The Philadelphia Eagles defeated the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 on Championship Sunday to advance to Super Bowl LVII.

[Nick Bosa](https://www.nfl.com/players/nick-bosa/)'s decision to try to shoot an inside gap on an outside zone run gave up contain, leaving [Boston Scott](https://www.nfl.com/players/boston-scott/)with plenty of room to run around the edge for [another touchdown](https://www.nfl.com/videos/eagles-capitalize-on-johnson-s-fumble-with-10-yard-boston-scott-td-run-before-ha). [Dre Greenlaw](https://www.nfl.com/players/dre-greenlaw-x9042/)'s attempt to take a back-door route around [Jason Kelce](https://www.nfl.com/players/jason-kelce/)toward the runner gave Sanders an alley to sprint through for a touchdown. A bit of worry crept into the picture when Hurts suffered a shoulder injury and missed two games, each ending in losses and opening the door for Dallas to make a late push for the division title. A roughing the kicker on [Jordan Mason](https://www.nfl.com/players/jordan-mason/)extended a Philadelphia drive that received another gift when [Talanoa Hufanga](https://www.nfl.com/players/talanoa-hufanga/)'s shoved an already out-of-bounds Hurts, moving the Eagles to San Francisco's 3-yard line, where they pounded the run up the middle for another touchdown. [fourth-down completion](https://www.nfl.com/videos/can-t-miss-play-devonta-smith-s-remarkable-one-handed-catch-goes-for-29-yards-on)to [DeVonta Smith](https://www.nfl.com/players/devonta-smith/)that replay revealed might have not been a catch. [Divisional Round](https://www.nfl.com/games/cowboys-at-49ers-2022-post-2)while trusting their run game and excellent offensive line to build a lead, and by the time the fourth quarter arrived, the outcome was decided. What the 49ers and their fans should also admit -- perhaps through gritted teeth -- is that they simply didn't play well enough to win. Luckily for Philadelphia, Smith and the Eagles' offense hurried to the line and snapped the ball before 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan could challenge the catch, and two plays later, [Miles Sanders](https://www.nfl.com/players/miles-sanders/)was in the end zone with a 6-yard touchdown run. The 49ers gave up less than 275 total yards of offense Sunday, and held the Eagles to 33% on third down, yet they lost in blowout fashion. The Eagles avoided committing the turnovers that doomed the Cowboys against the Niners in the Shanahan had no choice but to pound the run to little positive effect, and it was obvious San Francisco wasn't going to make it a close game before time expired. Johnson later left due to a head injury, meaning the 49ers had no choice but to proceed with a quarterback who wasn't physically capable of throwing the ball more than a few yards forward.

What time do the San Francisco 49ers play today, January 29th? (Niner Noise)

It's Championship Sunday in the NFL, and here's when the San Francisco 49ers play in the NFC Championship Game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

There are a ton of parallels between this Niners team and the Bucs team that pulled off the upset, from both being No. Make no mistake about it, the Niners are coming to Philly as the underdogs, but they’re also carrying with them a winning formula with some of the most dangerous players in the league. This time around, however, the Niners are the No.

Brady wants to win one more Super Bowl before he rides off into the sunset. “I think like you could see a scenario where Brady could be in the mix a month, a couple of months from now... Brady desperately needs a proper supporting cast that can mask his current flaws — which just so happens to be his fear of getting hit as he nears the age of 46. I think could boil down to how the next couple of weeks play out. We all know the story — Brady ended up signing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and led them to a Super Bowl victory over a Kansas City Chiefs squad that the Niners failed to beat the season prior. So do I think there's a great chance of Brady landing in San Francisco? "The Niners sort of left that door cracked open [unless] Purdy throws for like 350 yards this week and 350 yards in the Super Bowl... "Almost as fast as the 49ers’ interest in Brady rose, it died," Wickersham wrote. Do I think under certain circumstances that door be open? Prior to this game, Purdy was undefeated as a starting quarterback and looked better than Jimmy Garoppolo did running this offense. However, it’s worth noting he did face a favorable schedule, especially one that saw him play an absurd amount of home games — six home games and just two away appearances prior to San Francisco’s loss to Philadelphia. The Niners desperately need a proper franchise quarterback to get them over the hump.
