What the 49ers are saying after wild-card win over Eagles
The undermanned 49ers went to Philadelphia to open the playoffs and left with a victory, beating the Eagles 23-19 on Sunday evening at Lincoln Financial Field.
George Kittle was carted off in the second quarter with an Achilles injury suffered on his only reception of the game, but the 49ers scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns to overcome yet another star going down.
Christian McCaffrey caught both of those scores, with the first coming from Jauan Jennings on a 29-yard reverse pass.
