"The San Francisco 49ers upset the Philadelphia Eagles 23-19 on the road. The 49ers closed as a 5.5-point underdog -- according to DraftKings Sportsbook -- their third-largest upset win in a postseason game in the Super Bowl era, according to ESPN Research. With 43 seconds left in the game, Philadelphia faced a 4th-and-11 at San Francisco's 21-yard-line with a chance to take the lead. However, Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts' pass was incomplete, clinching a 49ers win."
"San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 262 yards and two touchdowns, while Hurts had 168 passing yards and a touchdown. The 49ers followed up their massive victory by trolling the Eagles. They poked fun at Philadelphia's "Fly Eagles Fly" chant which includes spelling out "Eagles." San Francisco instead spelled out "Niners" in its caption. It also wouldn't be a troll without referencing a Philly Cheesesteak, which the 49ers posted to emphasize that they are "still hungry for more.""
"The fourth quarter included touchdowns on each of Jacksonville and Buffalo's first two drives -- both teams had just one touchdown apiece prior to the final frame. The Bills capped off a nine-play, 66-yard drive with a one yard score from quarterback Josh Allen. The Jaguars had a chance to answer back with just over a minute remaining, but quarterback Trevor Lawrence was picked off, sending Buffalo to the next round."
