Despite the devastating loss of George Kittle to an Achilles tear during the second quarter of their Wild Card matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles this past Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers maintained their composure and had just enough to take down the defending Super Bowl champs, ultimately taking a 23-19 victory to set up a Divisional Round showdown with the Seattle Seahawks.
As it's been all season, one of the main reasons the Niners were able to secure the win was due to the dynamic play of first-team All-Pro Christian McCaffrey, who didn't have the greatest day on the ground, rushing for just 48 yards on 15 carries, but made up for it by catching six passes for 66 yards and two touchdowns, both of which came in the fourth quarter.
