The San Francisco 49ers have to go to Philadelphia to face the Eagles this Sunday in the Wild Card round of the playoffs.
And star tight end George Kittle pretty much admitted that this is the worst possible outcome for the Niners.
After San Francisco was defeated by the Seattle Seahawks in the regular-season finale in Week 18, Kittle openly cheered for the Arizona Cardinals to beat the Los Angeles Rams. Had the Cardinals accomplished that, the Niners would've faced the Carolina Panthers instead of the Eagles, which obviously would have been an easier matchup, considering Carolina is 8-9 on the year and San Francisco already beat the Panthers earlier in the season.
