The San Francisco 49ers are off to Philadelphia.
They downed the Dallas Cowboys in a divisional round game on Sunday, 19-12, to earn a spot against the Eagles at the Linc on Jan. 29 in the NFC Championship Game.
The 49ers outscored Dallas 10-3 in the fourth quarter of a defensive struggle.
One of the biggest plays happened when Brock Purdy, whose remarkable run continues, connected with George Kittle for a 30-yard pass that saw the ball deflect off the tight end’s hand and facemask before he caught it.
That set up a 2-yard TD run by Christian McCaffrey.
The teams traded field goals after that.

Dallas had a last gasp with 6 seconds left but a bizarre formation that saw running back Ezekiel Elliott snap the football to Dak Prescott went nowhere.
