Brock Purdy threw a go-ahead 6-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey late in the fourth quarter, the San Francisco 49ers used a trick play on a TD toss from wide receiver Jauan Jennings, and the 49ers eliminated the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles with a 23-19 wild-card victory Sunday.
The 49ers head to top-seeded Seattle next weekend for an NFC divisional playoff game. The NFC West rivals split the season series.
“Our team fights,” McCaffrey told Fox after the game. “We take each day at a time and go as hard as we can every single time.
“I love this group so much. I don’t have enough good things to say about it. Proud to be a part of this team.”
Purdy threw for 262 yards and earned the road win at Lincoln Financial Field he failed to get three seasons ago when he was injured in a dismal outing in a loss in the NFC title game.
