SUPER BOWL BOUND! The Philadelphia Eagles are heading back to the Super Bowl after their 31-7 NFC Championship win over the San Francisco 49ers. MORE:
The Eagles, who won the Super Bowl five years ago with a different coach and quarterback, will try to do it again behind the formidable duo of Hurts and coach Nick Sirianni.
Philadelphia will play either the Cincinnati Bengals or former Eagles coach Andy Reid's Kansas City Chiefs. Miles Sanders ran for two touchdowns and linebacker Haason Redick made the hit that forced 49ers rookie quarterback Brock Purdy out of the game with an elbow injury. Redick also recovered a fumble by Purdy's replacement, Josh Johnson, who later suffered a concussion.

San Francisco's bad luck at quarterback was finally too much to overcome as its 12-game win streak ended.
