- Following their Sunday wild-card win, the San Francisco 49ers will travel to Seattle for a divisional rematch next weekend, two weeks after Seattle's 13-3 win on Jan. 3.
- A crafty late sequence produced the decisive score, as Brock Purdy threw a go-ahead 4-yard touchdown to Christian McCaffrey with 2:54 left, then San Francisco sealed the win by stopping the Eagles on fourth down at the 21 with 40 seconds remaining.
- San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan confirmed George Kittle suffered a torn Achilles and was carted off in the first half, adding to injuries with Nick Bosa out and Fred Warner uncertain.
