49ers hold on for 23-19 win in Philadelphia
- On Sunday, the 49ers defeated the Eagles 23-19 at Lincoln Financial Field, with Purdy's late 6-yard TD and Jennings' trick play deciding the game.
- Amid a stalled attack, the Eagles' offense faltered under coordinator Kevin Patullo with a lethargic effort that cost a repeat title shot, while San Francisco lost George Kittle to a feared Achilles injury late Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, at Lincoln Financial Field.
- Quinyon Mitchell intercepted Purdy twice, but the Eagles scored only three points off turnovers, while Jennings had 66 yards receiving and 48 rushing yards, including a 29-yard TD pass.
- San Francisco 49ers advance to the NFC divisional round and will travel to top-seeded Seattle Seahawks next weekend, ending the Philadelphia Eagles' bid to repeat as Super Bowl champions.
- Missed PATs by Eddy Pineiro and Jake Elliott factored into the 23-19 final, while Dallas Goedert, Eagles tight end, made history with a postseason rushing touchdown.
