Notes about the Experts’ Analysis
- Brock Purdy’s great story will have its most complicated chapter this Sunday when he has to face one of the best defenses in the league. The rookie QB did not look comfortable against the Cowboys, and now he must show what he’s made of against a defensive line that fell two sacks shy of the league record after recording 70 on the season.
- On the Eagles’ side, quarterback Jalen Hurts will also have a tough matchup, although his talent is more than proven. He is among the elite QBs when it comes to running with the ball or passing it, which is key when playing against San Francisco’s great defense.
- In fact, the key to this game is what Hurts can do when passing. The 49ers have one of the best defenses against the run, but they are among the worst in the league in pass defense over 25 yards, Philadelphia’s air raid specialties.
- The 49ers offense has a big challenge as the Eagles are among the best teams defending San Francisco’s strengths. Let’s remember that Kyle Shanahan’s dynamic offense has them among the best at adding yards after receptions and throwing short passes down the middle of the field.
