This is the game the San Francisco 49ers have been waiting for. For the first time since they got beat 31-7 in the NFC title game last season, they're facing off against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The 8-3 Niners have plenty of reasons to be confident coming into this game. Brock Purdy is no longer a first-year quarterback battling the Mr. Irrelevant title. He's been healthy, having recovered from the forearm injury that took him out of last year's playoff loss, and good. Aside from three straight midseason losses against the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings, and Cincinnati Bengals (in which they scored 17 points in each game), the Niners have been aces.
