The NFC comes down to the top two seeds in the conference as the No. 2-seeded San Francisco 49ers visit the No. 1-seeded Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles, playing at home, entered the game as slight favorites over the 49ers. This is just the second postseason meeting between the two teams, the last coming in 1996. However, both have had recent postseason success. San Francisco won the NFC in the 2019 season before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV. The Eagles won Super Bowl LII after the 2017 season.
Both teams have young quarterbacks. Jalen Hurts, the Eagles’ starter, and the 49ers’ Brock Purdy are a combined 47 years and 208 days old, making them the youngest quarterback matchup in conference championship history, according to ESPN Stats & Information.
