The dominant Eagles march on
The Eagles dominated the Niners from the word go in the NFC championship game on Sunday. An early injury to the Niners QB Brock Purdy didn’t help the visitors’ cause either. But Hurts ensured that the Eagles didn’t fall into complacency and always looked to kill the game off.
Hurts didn’t throw a touchdown pass in the game. But his dual threat nature was at full display as he led his team to four touchdowns from the ground, three handoffs and one for himself. The Niners defense couldn’t guess the way in which Hurts would operate on any play. In the end, the Eagles convincingly won 31-7.
