49ers Star Details Why This Eagles Game Is Different

When the San Francisco 49ers play the 10-1 Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, they will have the chance to make a major impression.

Of course, the Eagles crushed them in the NFC Championship Game from the previous season, when Brock Purdy, the quarterback, tore his UCL in the first quarter of the game while throwing the ball.

The Niners’ standout defensive end, Nick Bosa, told David Lombardi that this game will be different from the previous one because both teams are looking for revenge. The Eagles lost in the Super Bowl after the Niners’ season ended in January.

In the Super Bowl, Philadelphia led the Kansas City Chiefs by ten points, but they blew the advantage and lost on a field goal by Harrison Butker in the closing seconds.

With an 8-3 record, San Francisco seemed to have found their groove after being winless for three straight games.

After overwhelming the Seattle Seahawks 31–13 on Thanksgiving Day, they will be well-rested; in contrast, the Eagles had to battle to overcome a 10-point hole in order to defeat the Buffalo Bills in overtime on Sunday.

The Eagles’ pass defense, which is among the worst in the NFL in terms of yards and touchdowns allowed, is the one area of concern that some have raised.

The Niners will try to capitalize on that shortcoming by having George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Deebo Samuel all have excellent games at tight end and wide receiver, respectively.

With 881 yards and five touchdowns this season, Aiyuk in particular is enjoying a fantastic campaign. He also leads the team in yards per reception (19.6).
