The San Francisco 49ers are lined up to play a familiar NFC playoff opponent on Sunday afternoon when they square off against the NFC East champion Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field (1:30 p.m. PT on FOX).
These two teams have represented the NFC in each of the three most recent and five of the eight most recent Super Bowls. They most recently met head-to-head late in the 2023 regular season in a game that was dominated by San Francisco.
They also met in January of that year, when the Eagles similarly dominated the 49ers to advance to Super Bowl LVII.
