The San Francisco 49ers never had a chance. The Philadelphia Eagles jumped on San Francisco’s vaunted defense on the opening drive to take a 7-0 lead and never looked back in a 31-7 blowout win over the 49ers to punch a ticket to Super Bowl LVII in two weeks.
Things went from bad to worse in the first quarter for the 49ers when Eagles linebacker Haason Reddick blows past a San Francisco tight end to hit quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy’s elbow was injured on the play, effectively ending the competitive portion of the game.
