Overview
- Philadelphia’s offense dried up after halftime, including three consecutive three-and-outs, before the final drive ended on a fourth-and-11 incompletion from the San Francisco 21.
- Addressing staff futures, Sirianni said “Everything and everyone will be evaluated,” as Patullo’s play-calling drew widespread blame for a season-long slide that resurfaced in the Wild Card loss.
- A.J. Brown had multiple drops and argued with Sirianni on the sideline, Jake Elliott missed an early extra point, and the Eagles were flagged seven times to the 49ers’ one after leading the NFL in regular-season penalty yardage.
- Despite Quinyon Mitchell’s two interceptions and other defensive flashes, Philadelphia surrendered explosive plays, including a trick-pass touchdown to Christian McCaffrey.
- San Francisco prevailed on the road despite losing George Kittle to a torn Achilles, and public reaction focused heavily on the Eagles’ underperforming, high-priced offense and potential coaching changes.
