what a win! i was a nervous wreck in the first quarter, but held faith as my niners denied touchdowns not once but twice. our defense was on, despite some early missed tackles on 3rd downs. it was what the nfc championship last year could have been. eagles were coming off two very mentally draining close wins against kansas city and buffalo. niners had a nice 10 days to rest and prep. what is likely a preview of a possible second nfc championship match up still has 5 more weeks of matches.  we still have more birds to get through - seahawks, ravens and cardinals. i'm glad brock purdy was able to have the competitive outing without injury. jalen hurts had to step off the field in the second half, which gave the eagles a mere glimpse of what the niners dealt with in last year's championship game. he was able to come back and commend him playing to the final minutes even when their loss was cemented. three touchdowns for deebo samuel to back up all that trash talk in the off season was a nice icing on the cake. there's plenty of football left and a home field advantage to play for. would be interesting to see philly play at levi.
