49ers Star Gave Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs a Solid Tip to Go Against the Eagles at the Super Bowl

Nothing hurts worse than heartbreak, right? Well, losing in the NFC Championship Game might hurt a little more for some. The San Francisco 49ers had a tough season. They went into their NFC Championship matchup versus the Eagles as one of the hottest teams in the league. With rising star Brock Purdy at the forefront, the Niners were well set to stake a claim for a position in the Super Bowl.
And then – injuries, injuries, injuries. The 49ers ended their season with a sum total of zero healthy QBs on their roster. They lost Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo earlier in the season, and after major injuries to Brock Purdy and 4th string QB Josh Johnson in the NFC title game, their season was over. In a real heartbreak, the 49ers didn’t even get the opportunity to put up a fight against the Eagles.

The Niners may be done for the season, but their star kicker, Robbie Gould, had insights to share.

According to Gould, the key to stopping the Eagles is to make Jalen Hurts play as a traditional passing quarterback. Jalen Hurts has been a dual-threat quarterback throughout his college and professional career. He has been successful in both running and passing the ball.

His dual-threat ability has been a major headache for opposing defenses. But the 49ers have had relative success in keeping Jalen Hurts under control.
Even in a disastrous NFC title game, the 49ers restricted Hurts’ offensive abilities, which saw Hurts end without a single passing TD. The eye test has proven the same. Hurts’ dual-threat ability is a major factor in the Eagles’ success, but it also leaves him vulnerable to being sacked or making mistakes. If the Chiefs can force Hurts to stay in the pocket and throw the ball, they will be able to limit his effectiveness and put pressure on the Eagles’ offense.
