"Brock Purdy got an encouraging pat on his shoulder pads as Sam Darnold said to him: See ya in a couple of weeks. For Purdy's sixth-seeded 49ers to stage a rematch with Darnold's top-seeded Seahawks, wild-card survival comes first. The 49ers' postseason Road Dog Tour will open at the No. 3-seed Philadelphia Eagles, who won last year's Super Bowl and who three years ago downed the 49ers and tore Brock Purdy's elbow ligament in the NFC Championship Game."
"The 49ers (12-5) would head to Seattle for a divisional-round game if, one, they knock off the Eagles (11-6), and, two, if the No. 7-seed Green Bay Packers lose to the No. 2-seed Chicago Bears. We've got to be road dogs. That's what this team has kind of been, right tackle Colton McKivitz said Saturday night. We've try to make it as hard as possible on ourselves."
The sixth-seeded San Francisco 49ers will open the playoffs on the road against the No. 3 Philadelphia Eagles in the wild-card round. The 49ers lost a chance at the No. 1 seed after a 13-3 defeat to the Seattle Seahawks and can only reach Seattle in the divisional round if they beat the Eagles and the No. 7 Packers lose to the No. 2 Bears. The Eagles dropped to No. 3 after losing to Washington. Right tackle Colton McKivitz emphasized a road mentality. The 49ers previously beat the Eagles 42-19 on Dec. 3, 2023.
