As an East Coast 49er fan who lives 90 minutes outside of Philadelphia, any matchup between the Eagles and 49ers will have a heightened sense of purpose. To be fair, in Northern New Jersey and the New York area, the fan base is pro-Giants and Jets, for the most part. However, there is a large group of Eagles fans, with that number growing due to their popularity and recent winning.
The 49ers and Eagles have matched up 36 times, including the postseason, and the 49ers lead the series 20-15-1. Since 2011, the two teams have split their last six meetings.
