にもかかわらず 10-1 記録，記録的な／記録する, host Eagles are betting underdogs in NFC 選手権 rematch vs. 49ers
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Jalen 傷つけるs sat alone on the （法廷の）裁判 and shook his 長，率いる with a mostly blank 星／主役にする on his 直面する as Jake Elliott にわか景気d a 59-yard-field that kept a 発射 at a 勝利，勝つ alive.
His Eagles チーム仲間s went as wild as the Philly fans at the Linc - the kicker 愛称d "Jake The Make" had saved a game again. But 傷つけるs could hardly be 動機づけるd to leave his seat.
So, what gives?
傷つけるs doesn´t celebrate with the fiery trademarks of his Philly sports brethren. Think Bryce Harper running his 手渡すs across the "Phillies" on his chest after a big 攻撃する，衝突する or Joel Embiid mimicking a プロの／賛成の 格闘するing chop on a big bucket. 傷つけるs could only think in the moment of all the plays he failed to make, all the 刑罰，罰則s and miscommunication that 軍隊d the Eagles to have to shoot for OT against a team like the 法案s.
"I think in that moment, it was out of my 手渡すs, so I could only think about the things that I could have done better to that point," he said.
At that point, 傷つけるs had only accounted for four touchdowns against the 法案s. Yeah, only four.

So when 傷つけるs ran for another TD in overtime, he sent the Eagles to a 10-1 記録，記録的な／記録する and Philly into a week of hype overdrive for Sunday's NFC 選手権 game rematch against the San Francisco 49ers (8-3). But most of the build-up - the 49ers were 強くたたくd in the game, then oddly talked smack about the Eagles in the offseason - mostly escaped 傷つけるs. 傷つけるs stayed above the fray, his monotone answers the same as always, whether talking about the 49ers, his 信用／信任 in Elliott or his 会合 this week with LeBron James at a 76ers game.
傷つけるs wiggled out of questions about his subdued demeanor on the sidelines.
"Sorry if you don´t think I don´t find enjoyment in these moments," he said, "because I do."
It´s not always this way, of course. 傷つけるs was all smiles when he snatched the mic and led an off-重要な rendition of the Eagles´ fight song after they （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 the 49ers and 前進するd to th e 最高の Bowl.
The Eagles aren´t looking for another singalong this time. Just a 勝利，勝つ in a game that could 形態／調整 the NFC race.
The 49ers left Philly 10 months ago 乱打するd behind 傷害s to QBs Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson and return as 2?-point favorites, per FanDuel Sportsbook.
"It doesn´t make a lot of sense to me, but I don´t really know how that stuff 作品," 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. "I don´t really know why. It is 無作為の."
CBS Sports 報告（する）／憶測d the Eagles are the first team since at least 1970 that 持つ／拘留するs a 10-1 記録，記録的な／記録する or better, has a healthy, starting QB and is a betting home underdog.
"Before I ever stepped foot in the city, all I knew about this city was Rocky versus Apollo Creed and the city plays the underdog 井戸／弁護士席," Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said.
Rocky Balboa, of course, lost to Creed (at least in the first fight), so perhaps there's a better 方式 of inspiration to find.
The 49ers are the favorites in large part because Purdy, who has 2,871 yards passing and 19 touchdowns, is 直面するing an Eagles 弁護 階級d 29th against the pass. the passing game. The 49ers also 普通の／平均（する）d 10 points 許すd the last three games, the 肉親，親類d of 弁護 that might make another Eagles 復帰 - they've won their last four games while 追跡するing at halftime - tougher to pull off. And while the Eagles a re winning, they're not winning big. They 港／避難所't had a 利ざや bigger than seven points in any of their last four games.
Should the Eagles pull off the rare home upset, maybe even 傷つけるs might celebrate a bit.
SWITCHING SIDES
Javon Hargrave has switched 味方するs in this 競争, having 調印するd as a 解放する／自由な スパイ／執行官 with San Francisco after helping the Eagles （警官の）巡回区域，受持ち区域 the Niners a year ago. Hargrave has six 解雇（する）s already this season and is a 重要な part of a 防御の line that has 15 解雇（する）s the past three weeks.
"I´m happy he´s on our 味方する and not their 味方する this time around," Niners linebacker Fred Warner said. "He´s just been so 一貫した for us ーに関して／ーの点でs of getting just disruption up there in the middle of our 防御の line. He has been such a 重要な piece to what we do all season long."
Hargrave said a few former チーム仲間s have reached out this week but there won´t be much talk until after the game, when he gets the 適切な時期 to play against Philadelphia´s stellar 不快な／攻撃 line.
"They know me like I know them," he said. "We went at it for about three years (in practice). I know what to do against them and I guess they know what to do against me."
TRASH TALK
In the days after the NFC 選手権 game, Niners receiver Deebo Samuel called Eagles cornerback James Bradberry " trash " and Philadelphia his "most hated" 対抗者.
Bradberry was later flagged for a late 防御の 持つ／拘留するing 刑罰，罰則 in the 最高の Bowl that kept a Kansas City 運動 alive and helped 安全な・保証する the 長，指導者s' 勝利，勝つ over the Eagles. Bradberry was a second-team All-プロの／賛成の 選ぶ in 2022 and a プロの／賛成の Bowler in 2020.
Samuel said this week he had no 悔いるs over ripping Bradberry. Bradberry said he was 自信のない why Samuel 選び出す／独身d him out.
"I don't やむを得ず like what he said. I wish he used a better word," Bradberry said. "From the clips that I saw, they felt like they had a good game 計画（する） against us. They felt like they had some open 大勝するs against us. Yeah, I don´t know. You´ve got to ask him."
FAST STARTERS
The Niners have been 急速な／放蕩な starters this season, 得点する／非難する／２０ing on the 開始 運動 in eight of their 11 games this season. San Francisco has seven TDs and one field goal for a league-best 52 points on the 開始 運動 -- the fourth-highest total for any team through 11 games since 2000.
Two of the 49ers´ three losses this season （機の）カム after they failed to 得点する／非難する／２０ on the 開始 運動. They have been far more 効果的な playing with the lead than from behind.
