75 percent of 49ers fans believe the team needs Sunday’s win as a statement
Photo by Steph Chambers/ While it’s “just another game” to the players, it sure feels that way. When the schedules were first generated and revealed, there was a big red circle around the 49ers Week 13 matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles. Any rematch between teams involved in the NFC Championship will draw attention, but the back and forth between both teams adds more tension. The Eagles believe they were the better team in January, and the 49ers are out to prove they were headed to Arizona for a Super Bowl berth before Brock Purdy’s injury. Both fan bases...

How are the 49ers preparing for the Eagles ‘tush push’ play?
Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ The 49ers are facing off against the Eagles, who execute one of the most-efficient plays. The San Francisco 49ers are set to take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13, looking to improve to 9-3 and chip away at the gap for the No. 1 seed in the NFC.

NN Week 13 Prediction Contest: 49ers look for revenge against Eagles
Perry Knotts/ The 49ers and Brock Purdy have been waiting for another shot at the Eagles. The San Francisco 49ers have been waiting a long time for another opportunity against the Philadelphia Eagles. The presumptive top two teams in the NFC are slated to face off for the first time since last season’s NFC Championship game on Sunday as the Niners head to Philadelphia. A 49ers victory would give them a far better opportunity of securing the top seed in the conference and a BYE in the playoffs. A loss, on the other hand, would give Philadelphia a much easier path to...

49ers/Eagles history: How the 49ers slayed the “dream team”
Set Number: D151791 TK1 R2 F281 The 49ers needed a couple of missed kicks and big plays offensively, but it was an impressive comeback. As an East Coast 49er fan who lives 90 minutes outside of Philadelphia, any matchup between the Eagles and 49ers will have a heightened sense of purpose. To be fair, in Northern New Jersey and the New York area, the fan base is pro-Giants and Jets, for the most part. However, there is a large group of Eagles fans, with that number growing due to their popularity and recent winning. The 49ers and Eagles have matched up 36 times,...

Kyle Shanahan says it ‘doesn’t make a lot of sense to me’ why the Eagles aren’t favored
Photo by Michael Zagaris/San Francisco 49ers/ He knows. We know. And the Eagles know. The San Francisco 49ers opened up as 1.5-point favorites over the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday night. How could the team that has one loss, who is at home, and had just beaten the Cowboys, Chiefs, and Eagles, not be favored to beat the team that has three losses and is on the road? That line is up to -3 on DraftKings Sportsbook. The total is ticked up a little as well to 47. That makes sense, as the perceived weakness on each team is their secondary. Kyle Shanahan shared his...

It could be a rainy afternoon in Philadelphia on Sunday
Photo by Maddie Meyer/ Kyle Shanahan talked through the process of practicing in the rain and with a wet ball. There’s a 50 percent chance of rain Sunday in Philadelphia, as of writing. Shanahan would prefer that it doesn’t rain while the team practices this week, so the 49ers can continue to practice outdoors. Here’s Kyle on Brock Purdy’s preparation might change with precipitation in the forecast: “No, a wet ball makes it harder on everybody. I’ve had some guys who really struggle in the rain. I’ve been through some situations with Brock, not just the...
