The 49ers’ 12-game win streak ended in startling fashion with quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson getting hurt to turn a red-hot offense into a flatlining attack in the NFC title game.
PHILADELPHIA — Here is how the No. 2-seed 49ers graded in Sunday’s 31-7 in the NFC Championship Game against the No. 1-seed Eagles:Brock Purdy’s throwing-elbow injury derailed this unit more than any other quarterback injury this season, and there were others . Josh Johnson struggled in relief and was gone 2 1/2 minutes after halftime because of a concussion.
The most controversial pass play was one that Kyle Shanahan should have challenged: DaVonta Smith’s one-handed, 29-yard catch to the 6-yard line on a fourth-and-3 play that could have been overturned by replay. Nick Bosa did not record a sack in any of the 49ers’ three playoff games. The only sack Sunday came when Jalen Hurts ran out of bounds for no gain, with Arik Armstead credited for that sack.
