49ers Smash Eagles (42-19), Send Message to Rest of NFL Coming Down the Stretch

Revenge in Philly! The 49ers marched into Lincoln Financial Field in Week 13 with fresh memories of last year’s NFC Championship Game, and they did something to the Birds that no team has done yet. The Eagles held San Fran to minus-six yards in their first two drives, but it was six consecutive touchdown drives after that for a 42-19 romp. This game was as chippy as ever with ugly no-calls and a sideline spat that saw 49ers LB Dre Greenlaw and Eagles chief of security Dom DiSandro get ejected. Deebo Samuel carved up Philly with 3 TDs. That was the game of the week on Sunday, and it’ll have implications for the No. 1 spot in this week’s upcoming power rankings.

Fun Fact: The 49ers’ 23-point win over the Eagles was the largest victory against a team with the outright-best record in the NFL since the 1970 merger. Wow.

Elsewhere in the NFL, the Packers upset the Chiefs thanks to two back-breaking missed pass interference calls on the final drive. The Dolphins had another track meet featuring WR Tyreek Hill. The Cardinals shocked the Steelers. And the Rams, Colts, and Texans are currently in the playoff picture (what?!). Let’s recap with some top performers and a Week 13 scoreboard before tonight’s big AFC clash.
