Football: Birdie’s fairy tale of the 49ers continues
The San Francisco 49ers play around surprising quarterback Brock Purdy against the Philadelphia Eagles to get into the Super Bowl. The NFL team won the playoffs 19:12 against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday (local time) and ended all the team’s dreams about quarterback Dak Prescott, who came with big ambitions.
“We’re just happy we won. It’s playoff football, it’s never easy.”Purdy told Fox. Purdy extended his impressive streak to eight wins in eight NFL games and stayed nearly clean against the Cowboys. He did not catch a touchdown pass, but he did not miss a shot and made an obviously wrong decision in a few situations. Prescott, on the other hand, threw the ball twice at the 49ers player.
Purdy was finally selected in the draft last spring, which is why I got the nickname as a matter of tradition “Mister Irrelevant” Lost. But due to injuries to 49ers quarterbacks Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo, Purdy made his NFL debut as an upset and has been a regular for the 49ers ever since. Like last year, the team is now in the NFC Final. Twelve months ago, there was a defeat by the Super Bowl-winning Los Angeles Rams.
The Bengals beat the Buffalo Bills
The Cincinnati Bengals also defeated the favored Buffalo Bills and is one win away from reaching the Super Bowl. In heavy snowfall in Buffalo, the Bengals won at 27:10 on Sunday and will face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Finals next Sunday.
“Domination from start to finish. The job is not over yet, we have a difficult away game ahead of usThe duel against the Chiefs really happened last season – the Bengals surprisingly prevailed a year ago and moved on to the Super Bowl, which they then lost to the Los Angeles Rams. “It’s going to be fun. Two of the best players in the league, two of the best teams, it’s going to be exciting and I’m looking forward to it.”Boro said. Whether or not quarterback Patrick Mahomes will play with his sprained ankle is open.
Hamelin is a metropolis
On the other hand, for highly traded coins, the season has ended again after the division round. The biggest cheer from disappointed Bills fans came just before halftime when Demar Hamlin’s presence was announced over the stadium speakers. For the 24-year-old defenseman, it was the first visit to the stadium since he suffered cardiac arrest three weeks ago, forcing the abandonment of the Bills’ home game against the Bengals.
Standing up, sitting in a box, Hamlin made a heart with his hands and used his arms to encourage viewers to cheer even louder, as seen in the CBS television footage. Hamlin’s rapid progression after the shock has given his teammates added momentum and motivation in recent weeks, but the hosts have found no resources against the Bengals.
Mahomes is injured – Kansas City is still in the semifinals
The Kansas City Chiefs did indeed advance to the semifinals of the playoffs Sunday night (January 22, 2023) — even though their star player, Patrick Mahomes, was injured. The Chiefs beat the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-20 (17-10). The Chiefs had a scare in the first quarter when a Jaguars defender fell on the right ankle of Patrick Mahomes. The starting quarterback continued to play, but then made way for his replacement Chad Heene and returned to the field at home Arrowhead Stadium in the second half.
“I don’t get off the court in a playoff game unless they take me down.”Mahomes said to replace him temporarily. X-rays showed no serious injury and a still limping Mahomes threw a touchdown pass to Marquis Valdes-Scantling in the fourth quarter for a 27-17 lead. “It just feels different when he’s our 15th player in the game. He can do anything – even on the ankleHe led 17:7 in the second quarter. Mahomes substitute Chad Henne threw a direct touchdown pass on the first wave of attacks.
The Eagles confidently beat the Giants
The Philadelphia Eagles had fewer problems with the New York Giants, as the Eagles were leading 28-0 at home. Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts threw two touchdown passes in the first quarter and ran into the end zone himself in the second.
Towards the end of the regular season, Hurts was sidelined for two games with a shoulder injury, but there was no sign of that against the Giants. “He’s our captain. Having him on the field is like having Michael Jordan.”said Eagles coach Nick Siriani.
Chiefs now against the Bills or the Bengals
With the best records in the main rounds in their conferences, both the Chiefs and the Eagles were a first-round bye in the playoffs.
