The 49ers go toe-to-toe with the Eagles at the Linc on Sunday, December 3, in a rematch of last season's NFC Championship Game. The Eagles have the top record in the conference but they've been winning games by tight margins and are perhaps overdue a defeat. Will the well-rested Niners be the team to dish it out?
49ers vs Eagles is airing on Fox in the US, Sky Sports in the UK, and Kayo Sports in Australia. Don't worry if you're abroad, because you can watch NFL live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Their meeting last January has gone down in NFL infamy. Brock Purdy, who was then the backup to Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, tore a ligament in his throwing elbow as he was sacked during the 49ers' first drive, and his backup Josh Johnson was subsequently knocked out of the game with a concussion on their first drive of the second half, forcing Purdy to complete the game. Needless to say, none of this went well for San Francisco.
However, circumstances are playing to their advantage this time around, with the 49ers set to take the field behind 10 days of rest, whereas the Eagles are coming off two gruelling encounters against the Chiefs and the Bills, the second of which went to overtime.
Jalen Hurts' ability to drag his team out of deep holes has been used as a stick to beat the Eagles with this term, but a run of eight consecutive comebacks from double-digit deficits is no fluke, and even if the Niners fly out of the blocks and build a healthy halftime lead on Sunday, it won't be over until Hurts has had his say.
