The third quarterback designation would have helped San Francisco against the Eagles. Plus, what Nathaniel Hackett’s hiring means for Aaron Rodgers, Bill O’Brien’s impact on Mac Jones, the Bills’ championship window and much more.
The Eagles are headed back to their first Super Bowl since the 2017 season after defeating the 49ers 31–7 in the NFC championship Sunday.

After a wild AFC title game that saw the Chiefs advance to their third Super Bowl in four seasons with a 23–20 victory over the Bengals, Kansas City tight end Travis Kelce had a message for the naysayers in the postgame.
As Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was being interviewed on the field by CBS sideline reporter Tracy Wolfson, Kelce interrupted the scrum with an incredible reaction.
The star tight end reflected on Brock Purdy and Josh Johnson’s injuries following San Francisco’s NFC Championship loss.
On a day where injuries derailed the 49ers offense, George Kittle summed the outing up with a brutally honest assessment following Sunday’s 31–7 loss to the Eagles in the NFC Championship game.
The star tight end contributed three catches for 32 yards in the contest, though it’s fair to wonder if Kittle’s impact may have been greater had quarterback Brock Purdy not suffered an early-game elbow injury.

The Eagles will take on the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, here’s how to watch
Super Bowl LVII is now set.
The Philadelphia Eagles punched their ticket to Super Bowl LVII with a 31-7 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. It is the fourth time in franchise history that the Eagles have advanced to the Super Bowl, with their most recent trip coming at the end of the 2017 NFL season. In Super Bowl LII, the Eagles defeated the New England Patriots to earn their first Super Bowl title.
Patrick Mahomes battled through that nagging ankle injury and Harrison Butker drilled the winning 45-yard FG to book Kansas City’s ticket to Super Bowl LVII.
KANSAS CITY — Patrick Mahomes, battling a high ankle sprain, didn’t pass for the win. He ran.
The gimpy Chiefs quarterback ran for nine yards and then picked up a 15 yard flag for being hit out of bounds to put the Chiefs in field goal range.
And when Harrison Butker kicked the 45-yarder, the Chiefs won this AFC Championship Game.
Chiefs 23.
Bengals 20.
Four times the Cincinnati Bengals had trailed the Chiefs in the four games the teams have played the past calendar year. And four times the Bengals overcame the deficit.
But this time the Chiefs got the last word.
The 49ers were forced to rely on an injured Brock Purdy after initially losing him and then fourth-string quarterback Josh Johnson in Sunday’s loss to the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

James, who finished with a game-high 41 points, got to the rim at the end of the regulation and appeared to be fouled by Celtics star Jayson Tatum.
