The Philadelphia Eagles emerged victorious from their week 4 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, but the win was overshadowed by a major injury to 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy suffered a torn UCL in his throwing elbow, an injury that is expected to keep him out of action for six months.
The Eagles were able to take advantage of Purdy’s absence, and their physicality was on full display. The Eagles defense was able to stymie the 49ers offense and control the game. The offense was able to capitalize on the opportunities they were given, and the Eagles were able to come away with a decisive victory.
The 49ers loss was clouded by what-ifs and second guesses, as the team may have been able to mount a comeback had Purdy remained healthy. The Eagles, however, showed the 49ers the meaning of being physical and the importance of capitalizing on opportunities.
The Eagles win was a testament to the team’s talent and resilience, and it is a sign of what is to come for the rest of the season. The Eagles have shown that they are a force to be reckoned with, and they have what it takes to make a deep run in the playoffs.
