The Eagles beat up the 49ers at the Linc with a 31-7 rout Sunday in the NFC Championship Game. They’re headed back to the Super Bowl less than five years after winning it all.
So pack your bags. And don’t forget the sunscreen. Philly’s on its way to Arizona.
From Jalen Hurts down to the last guy on the practice squad, the message was the same no matter who you spoke with: We’re not thinking about the future, we’re not thinking about the past, all we can control is the moment. But they didn’t just say it, they believed it.
It was going to take an awful lot to make up for his first-round misses — Fireman Danny, Marcus Smith, Jalen Reagor — but he’s done it and much more. Lurie gave Roseman the opportunity to grow and learn from his mistakes, and Lurie paid him back by building two Super Bowl teams. The 49ers were No. 2 in the NFL in run defense this year, and they had allowed just three rushing TDs in their last nine games. But this O-line and these backs are special, and as tough and fast and physical as the 49ers are on defense, it was no contest.
I thought Chauncey Gardner-Johnson, Reed Blankenship, Brandon Graham, Josh Sweat, Avonte Maddox, Kyzir White and Javon Hargrave were particularly active. Heck, that’s almost everybody. And I don’t care what QB the 49ers had out there. They played who they played. And now they’re in the Super Bowl.
