Here’s the rewritten content in simple, easy-to-understand words for a USA audience:
Brock Purdy threw a winning 6-yard touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey in the final minutes of the game. The 49ers also scored on a trick play when wide receiver Jauan Jennings threw a touchdown pass. San Francisco beat the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles 23-19 in the wild-card playoff game on Sunday.
The 49ers will now travel to top-seeded Seattle next weekend for the NFC divisional playoff round. These division rivals each won one game against each other during the regular season.
“Our team fights hard,” McCaffrey said after the game. “We take it one day at a time and give everything we’ve got every single time. I love this team so much. I can’t say enough good things about them. I’m proud to be on this team.”
Purdy threw for 262 yards and won the road game at Lincoln Financial Field. Three years ago, he suffered a major loss at this same stadium in the NFC championship game after sustaining an injury.
Purdy threw two interceptions to star cornerback Quinyon Mitchell, but the Eagles only scored three points from those turnovers.
The 49ers will be missing star tight end George Kittle next weekend. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Kittle tore his right Achilles tendon late in the first half.
The Eagles won a Super Bowl using a trick play, but this time one hurt them. Jennings caught a pitch and threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to McCaffrey. That score on the first play of the fourth quarter put the 49ers ahead 17-16.
The Eagles only managed a 33-yard field goal by Jake Elliott in the fourth quarter, briefly taking a 19-17 lead.
Philadelphia’s weak offense ended its chance at winning back-to-back championships. Super Bowl MVP Jalen Hurts threw for just 168 yards and one touchdown. The Eagles led 13-10 at halftime but gained only 36 total yards on 16 plays in the third quarter.
Hurts’ final pass fell incomplete on fourth down with 43 seconds left, ending the Eagles’ season.
