The 49ers did not play perfect football in any aspect but they deserved to beat the Cowboys and advance to the NFC Championship Game next Sunday at ...

After the offense struggled in the first half, Purdy said they reverted to plays they practiced last week for such a scenario, including quick strikes over the middle. Defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans’ unit caved on some short-yardage plays and allowed Dak Prescott to escape a few times, all of which must be tightened up next Sunday against Jalen Hurts and the Eagles. The ugly: Ray-Ray McCloud’s fumbled punt return, which was his first lost fumble of the season, and which he helped atone for with a 53-yard kick return minutes later. The 49ers wanted to win the run game and the turnover battle, and they did just that to reach their third NFC Championship Game in the past four seasons. George Kittle’s juggling 30-yard catch to midfield sparked the go-ahead touchdown drive, plus he drew a holding call that further set up that touchdown, and he caught all five of his targets for a team-high 95 yards. He kept firing into the fourth quarter to keep drives alive and eat just enough time off the clock, finishing 19-of-29 for 214 yards and no turnovers.

The San Francisco 49ers' playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys sets up what could be a defensive showdown in Philadelphia against the Eagles.

It’s gonna be cold and violent and it’s gonna be a blast." Sunday’s conference title game has the potential to be a defensive slugfest. The 49ers boast the top defense in the league. Philadelphia had the NFL’s second ranked defense in the regular season. "They’ve been as good as anyone since the beginning of this year and all the way to right now," Shanahan said of the Eagles. We were able to contain them and keep them out of the end zone except for that drive.

McCaffrey then ended a 10-play, 91-yard drive with his 2-yard score at the start of the fourth. Maher went on to make a 43-yard field goal about four minutes later, but the Cowboys never scored again. Maher made a 25-yard field goal a couple minutes later to tie the score. The winner will meet the Kansas City Chiefs or Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LII. "We knew it was going to be a slug fest. Prescott ended the possession with a 4-yard touchdown toss to tight end Dalton Schultz. So it's going to be really fun and it's going to be cold and violent and it's going to be a blast." Disappointed for the guys in the locker room. Cowboys cornerback Kelvin Joseph forced punt returner Ray-Ray McCloud to fumble about three minutes into the second half. "At the start of the year back in OTAs, all you are doing is preparing for the Super Bowl. The Cowboys answered with a 14-play, 74-yard drive. "This is a special team.

The 49ers head coach gave a lengthy answer for wasting 26 seconds off the clock at the end of the first half.

But having someone tell you what to do in a specific situation when you spent endless hours during the previous week preparing for the game isn’t easy. Some teams have someone that can tell the head coach when it’s appropriate to either go for it on fourth down or use other timeouts. That’s not excusing Shanahan or 95 percent of other coaches that struggle toward the end of the half. We still think we have time to score, but when you get to a third-and-one, and we had one time out, and they had two, we weren’t about to not get that third down. Of course, that’s before you account for a kicker that had the yips. I wanted [WR] Jauan [Jennings], the protection to wait for Jauan, but to still get a field goal out of it was huge though.”

The Dallas Cowboys' Super Bowl dreams ended in bizarre fashion on Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers with running back Ezekiel Elliot playing ...

with other on-lookers noting Elliot, like Turpin, also got drilled by a 49ers defender. The defeat to the 49ers on Sunday night saw Dallas' season ended by Kyle Shanahan's side for the second year in a row. Given Dallas needed to go nearly the length of the field on their final drive, the fact their season ended on an eight yard pass drew plenty of laughter from NFL fans who were left bemused by the play.

The Eagles are a win away from returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since 2018.

Purdy has run the table since taking over for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo. They'll host the San Francisco 49ers at 3pm Sunday, per [Nick Sirianni](https://www.nbcsports.com/philadelphia/eagles/watch-nick-sirianni-rocks-chain-crazy-eagles-postgame-locker-room).

The improbable run continued for the 49ers on Sunday when they knocked off the Cowboys 19-12 in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

Fred Warner tells SI about how San Francisco picked off Dak Prescott twice and the Cowboys' “very bizarre” play to end the game.

He always wanted to help people, and the last thing he wanted was to be recognized for it. • George Kittle’s 30-yard catch was the best play of the weekend and a real difference-maker for a Niners offense that was scuffling around. In wins over the Rams and Titans to open the season, it sure seemed undeniable that this was a Super Bowl–or-bust kind of year for Buffalo. And then after practice, we kind of grab a couple receivers and throw the routes that were thrown in practice, just so we have the same thing that Patrick has. Obviously, they know that they have to kind of just toss the ball back and forth, and Jimmie [Ward] just took it into his own hands and shot his gun and took him down right away. And then, he had to come in off the bench and lead a 12-play, 98-yard drive to help keep the Chiefs’ season alive, as Patrick Mahomes went to the locker room to get X-rays on what turned out to be a And then the factor that made it that much more clear-eyed on the decision was when we found out officially that Estadio Azteca in Mexico City was not going to be available in 2023.” “I think the strategy that my predecessors built on is having the capacity in London to not only play games but potentially have a club based in London is continuing to be real,” O’Reilly said. But it also happened, because the NFL lost a game for next year, giving it a spot to fill—Estadio Azteca in Mexico City will be unavailable because of renovations ahead of the 2026 World Cup. • O’Brien’s the leader in the clubhouse for that OC job, and that makes sense. He made a huge play in a huge moment early in the game to kind of get us going. “And it doesn’t matter where they place the ball in the field, we know we gotta go out and we gotta execute at a high level.

The 49ers offense did just enough to make sure they capitalized on an excellent defensive performance.

Deommodore Lenoir made a great play in the first half to pick off Prescott and generally did his job slowing down Dallas’ receivers. However, he did have some unusual struggles with tackling, missing an opportunity for a tackle for loss and another that allowed Dallas to convert a third down. However, to his credit, he returned the subsequent kickoff 53 yards. Kittle hauled in all five of his targets for 95 receiving yards, including his incredible 31-yard grab that changed the course of the game. While none of them scored, each member of the trio hauled in a third-down conversion. Dak Prescott was far from the best version of himself on Sunday, but it was not because of an excellent performance by the 49ers' defensive line. The Cowboys have some excellent defensive linemen, so it’s not surprising that the 49ers' line had one of their more erratic performances. Still, Mitchell finished with just 51 rushing yards on 14 carries (and saved the Cowboys a late timeout by going out of bounds on a first down). The defensive line stood out far more against the run than pass. An above-average grade for a rookie in the playoffs is nothing to scoff at. However, those were really the only notable mistakes in his performance. Despite holding the Niners to just 19 points, Dallas’ offense was stifled even more and managed just 12 points on the day.

Brock Purdy may not have much to celebrate when he's in Philadelphia this Sunday.

All that being said, the 49ers have had a similar schedule to the Eagles during Purdy’s winning streak, and didn’t have to play in a division in which no team finished with a losing record. In the NFC West, the Niners won 13, the Seahawks 9, while the Rams won just 5 and the Cardinals 4. They score touchdowns, mainly because of the threat of Hurts to run inside the 20. Of all the defenses in the NFL, San Francisco is best equipped to keeping Hurts’ running game under control, but 760 yards rushing and 13 TDs make him a weapon inside the red zone they haven’t seen before. Were one to do that, one would have to hit the Eagles for their easy victory against New York. While one day may not seem like a lot, in the life of an NFL player/coach, it is a big deal. That’s one of the reasons when you play a good team like that and you hold them to 12 points.” This is not a new phenomenon with Shanahan, by the way, and you can bet, with a healthy Hurts at the controls, Nick Sirianni won’t do the same thing. The two plays above aside, just before halftime, the Niners had the ball with just under two minutes left, and with the score tied 6-6, Shanahan allowed 25 seconds to run off the clock before running a play in his own territory, scared to give the ball back to Dallas before the half. In fact, there are more reasons for the 49ers to fear the Eagles than vice versa. And a huge shoutout to Jonathan Gannon for a brilliantly executed and planned defensive scheme against a Giants team that had come into the Linc pretty hot. Given their 12-game winning streak, it’s understandable, although the Eagles’ 14-3 regular season record and 15-1 record with Jalen Hurts at quarterback are hard to bet against, especially after their 38-7 slaughter of the Giants on Saturday.

The Eagles and 49ers, the top two seeds in the NFC playoff bracket, will meet Sunday in Philadelphia for the NFC Championship Game.

The Eagles are 3-4 in NFC Championship Games, beating the Cowboys at home in 1980; losing to the Rams in St. Dre Greenlaw and Fred Warner are among the best linebacker tandems in the NFL. The 49ers edged the Eagles by 15 yards for the No. The 49ers beat the Cowboys 19-12 on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara to advance. 1 in defense and No. 2 in defense and No.

Their defence is one of the best in the league, but if they're to stick with quarterback Dak Prescott, he could do with some more options. And the frustration showed before their fate had even been sealed, as fights broke out in a different part of the AT&T Stadium too. There were violent scenes at AT&T, with footage circling online of punches being thrown amongst a crowd of people leaving the venue.

Takeaways from the San Francisco 49ers' 19-12 divisional playoff win over the Dallas Cowboys.

Then he hauled in a 17-yard catch to open a 49ers series that led to a field goal after Dallas had cut the lead to 16-12. Through two playoff games he’s yet to have one, marking the first time all year he went consecutive games without getting the QB on the ground. The 49ers came out on top of their ninth postseason meeting with the Cowboys, moving their all-time record against Dallas to 4-5 in playoff games. Finally, with the 49ers trying to run out the clock at the two-minute warning, head coach Kyle Shanahan dialed up a pass to his star tight end, who made the catch and lurched ahead for 16 yards and a first down to open the drive. It was the second year in a row San Francisco knocked Dallas out of the postseason. After a long stretch of games where the 49ers weren’t really tested, Dallas provided San Francisco’s biggest challenge of their 12-game winning streak.

The Eagles’ offensive line has dealt with the likes of Micah Parsons twice this season. His Elmer’s glue interception of a ball intended for CeeDee Lamb in the red zone took at least three Cowboys points off the board. Warner’s the ideal hybrid Mike linebacker in the modern age of spread passing attacks, tasked with racing down the seam with No. The absence of positive offensive plays renders him invisible to the naked eye, but his impact on the second layer of the defense is the gear that keeps San Francisco’s defense perpetually troublemaking. Of the remaining teams left for the Conference Championship weekend, San Francisco is the only one with an Aron Donald-caliber talent. Warner is a defensive particle that has the opposite effect as his more prolific offensive counterparts.
