"The undermanned 49ers went to Philadelphia to open the playoffs and left with a victory, beating the Eagles 23-19 on Sunday evening at Lincoln Financial Field. George Kittle was carted off in the second quarter with an Achilles injury suffered on his only reception of the game, but the 49ers scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to overcome yet another star going down. Christian McCaffrey caught both of those scores, with the first coming from Jauan Jennings on a 29-yard reverse pass."
"Brock Purdy was 18-of-31 for 262 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions, but his final pass was a 4-yard score to McCaffrey to give the 49ers their final lead. The Eagles drove deep into 49ers territory, but linebacker Eric Kendricks broke up Jalen Hurts' pass for Dallas Goedert on fourth-and-11 to seal the win. McCaffrey had six catches for 66 yards, adding to his 48 yards on 15 carries."
