49ers Eliminate Eagles 23-19 on Late Purdy-to-McCaffrey TD

San Francisco advances to a divisional visit to top-seeded Seattle after a windy, turnover-heavy win.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy found Christian McCaffrey for a six-yard touchdown in the final minutes to provide the deciding points.
  • Jauan Jennings executed a trick play with a touchdown pass to McCaffrey that swung momentum early in the fourth quarter.
  • Tight end George Kittle exited in the second quarter with a right-leg injury feared to be an Achilles tear, with his status still developing.
  • Rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell intercepted Purdy twice, setting up Philadelphia field goals in a tense back-and-forth game.
  • Strong winds at Lincoln Financial Field contributed to a missed extra point and on-field disruptions as San Francisco’s defense closed out the final drive.
