It’s been said so many times that, at this point, it has to be considered cliche, but the NFL is truly a week-to-week league. ‘Round1’, as Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni would say led to a double-digit road win. ‘Round 2’ looked much different.
This one unfolded like a good boxing match. After a feeling-out process for most of the first half, before the San Francisco 49ers punched the Eagles hard with a 97-yard drive ahead of the break.
San Francisco jumped out to a 14-point lead and held off an Eagles rally to close things out.
