PHILADELPHIA -- Different teams. Different level. Different stakes.
But Sunday's NFC Championship Game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the San Francisco 49ers (3 p.m. ET, Fox) features a college rematch between quarterbacks Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy.
Hurts' Oklahoma Sooners and Purdy's Iowa State Cyclones squared off under the lights in November 2019 in Norman, Oklahoma. It was a nail-biter in which the Sooners eked out a 42-41 victory.
Hurts threw three touchdowns and rushed for two more while Purdy tied a school record for touchdowns by a single player with six -- five through the air and one on the ground.
