Overview
- The Eagles will host the 49ers in the NFC Wild Card at Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday.
- Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio described Kyle Shanahan's offense as tightly packaged with purposeful motions and spotlighted Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
- Fangio noted San Francisco's offense had a stretch as the league's hottest this season, framing the challenge as significant for his unit.
- Kyle Shanahan praised Fangio's system and said he attempted to hire him to run the 49ers' defense three times.
- Fangio coordinated the 49ers from 2011 to 2014 during three NFC title game runs and a Super Bowl loss, and reports flagged that he misspoke by recalling a Super Bowl win in that span.
