The San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles will face off in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, and the matchup will be a true test for both teams. The two teams have two of the most talented quarterbacks in the NFL, Jalen Hurts and Brock Purdy, who have been playing against each other since their college days.

Hurts and Purdy first squared off in college in 2018, when Hurts was at the University of Oklahoma and Purdy was at Iowa State. The game was an epic duel that ended with Hurts and the Sooners winning in overtime.

Since then, the two have gone on to have successful NFL careers, with Hurts leading the Eagles to the NFC Championship game and Purdy leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl.

Despite their success, rookie quarterbacks have historically struggled in conference championship games. According to PhillyVoice.com, no rookie quarterback has ever won a conference championship game.

This will be a difficult challenge for Hurts and Purdy, as the Eagles and 49ers both boast strong defenses. It will be interesting to see how the two quarterbacks fare against the two teams’ defenses in the NFC Championship game.
