The Eagles and 49ers meet on Sunday in a game that oddsmakers expect to be a dogfight.
Eagles vs. 49ers prediction and analysis
Both of these offenses are predicated on the success of elite rushing attacks that ranked in the top eight in yards and touchdowns during the regular season. This weekend, though, each side faces a difficult schematic matchup that will make it tough to replicate that success this week. Conversely, San Francisco’s offense featured the league’s second-highest usage rate of 21 personnel , which allows the team to employ its “death lineup” of Christian McCaffrey, Kyle Juszczyk, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle all at the same time. Yet the Eagles ranked eighth in defensive success rate against 21 personnel and similarly yielded 3.2 yards per carry to outside zone runs from that look, which are key to Kyle Shanahan’s offense.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy faces a tough matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday’s NFC Championship.After a legendary run for Brock Purdy in the regular season, we haven’t exactly seen the same version of the rookie passer in his first-ever postseason. His final stat line in the divisional round was bolstered by a strong second half with a healthy lead, but he struggled mightily in the first half of that game.
