"Postseason football is defined by grit and narrow margins. The San Francisco 49ers looked right at home in that environment, beating the Eagles 23-19 at a raucous Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday. Entering Sunday as the No. 6 seed in the NFC, Kyle Shanahan's squad ignored the oddsmakers, the hostile environment, and, most critically, the difficult-to-stomach Achilles tendon injury to George Kittle to advance to a second-round matchup, a rematch with the Seattle Seahawks."
"Brock Purdy QB Delivered some sweet layered passes in this game and gave the Niners a fighting chance in a game where they couldn't effectively run the ball until late. Yes, Purdy had two interceptions in this game, but he was far and away the better quarterback in this game, and it's the reason the Niners won. He ended the game with 262 yards passing, two touchdowns, and 24 key rushing yards."

Jauan Jennings filled in as a run-game tight end and threw a 29-yard touchdown to Christian McCaffrey, who finished strong with late burst and a touchdown catch.
