49ers at Eagles
Week 13’s got a game, as the San Francisco 49ers (8-3) travel to Philadelphia to take on the Eagles (10-1) in an NFC Championship rematch/potential preview. We’ll see two top offenses, two top defenses and rain in the forecast. December football, amirite?
The 49ers Chase Youngified defensive line is going to want keep Eagles QB Jalen Hurts in the pocket, so he can’t use his legs to create havoc (the Bills will tell you this is a good idea). The San Francisco defense will also do its best to keep the Eagles in second and medium or third and medium or second and long and third and long – in other words, avoid the “tush push.”
Brock Purdy and the 49ers struggled in the rain against Cleveland in Week 6, so that’s something to watch. We will see a lot of Christian McCaffrey, obviously, but prepare to see Deebo Samuel put the back in wideback, as the run game is going to be a key component for San Francisco. The Eagles are going to try to limit the middle of the field for Purdy, so watch out for some Brandon Aiyuk chemistry on the edges.
It’s gonna be one helluva football game.
The injury report for the game is on the next slide.

Florida State Quarterback Injuries
The Florida State Seminoles could see their third starting quarterback this season when they take on the Louisville Cardinals in the ACC Championship on Saturday. Tate Rodemaker, who took over when quarterback Jordan Travis injured his left leg, is dealing with a head injury and has not been a full practice participant this week.
Should Rodemaker not be able to go, it will be freshman Brock Glenn under center. The 49ers would tell you that quarterbacks in their first year named Brock turn out well.
