Jalen Hurts’ Eagles and Brock Purdy’s 49ers both out to prove a point

Jalen Hurts' Eagles and Brock Purdy's 49ers both out to prove a point

When the 49ers’ schedule was released last May, this was the game that everyone circled first.

Because Dec. 3 in Philadelphia is unfinished business for the 49ers.

The Niners cannot retrieve what was lost in January. They cannot undo what happened the last time they went to Philly, when Brock Purdy’s elbow exploded on the sixth play of the NFC Championship game and all hopes and dreams went with it.

The Niners never had a chance to deploy their game plan for Philadelphia. The defense had to shift to accommodate the offense, and the offense had to adjust to a fourth-string backup quarterback and, later, Purdy, playing without the ability to throw the football.
