The Philadelphia Eagles will attempt to cool down the hottest team in the NFL when they host the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in the 2023 NFC Championship Game. Philadelphia (15-3) proved why it is the No. 1 seed in the NFL playoff bracket after it manhandled the New York Giants, 38-7, in the Divisional Round of the 2023 NFL Playoffs. The Eagles now face a much tougher test as they take on San Francisco (15-4), which has posted 12 consecutive victories. The 49ers advanced to the conference title game for the third time in four seasons with a 19-12 triumph over Dallas last weekend.
Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field is set for 3 p.m. ET.

The club recorded 70 sacks, falling two shy of the NFL single-season record set in 1984 by Chicago, and racked up five against the Giants.

Why the 49ers can coverSan Francisco has gone 7-0 since Brock Purdy, the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, took over for the injured Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) as the team's starting quarterback. The 23-year-old Purdy replaced Garoppolo early in the 49ers' Week 13 victory against Miami and has thrown 16 touchdown passes and only three interceptions in eight contests. Purdy began the NFL playoffs 2023 with his first career 300-yard performance, throwing for 332 and three TDs against Seattle in the wild-card round, and was 19 of 29 for 214 yards versus Dallas.
Christian McCaffrey has been finding the end zone with regularity since being acquired from Carolina in October. The 26-year-old running back, who is dealing with a calf injury, has scored a touchdown in his last eight games. The 49ers won't make life easy for Philadelphia's offense, as they led the NFL in total defense (300.6 yards allowed) and scoring defense (16.3 points) while ranking second against the run (77.7 yards).
