For much of the season, it seemed like there would be three powerhouses in the NFC: the San Francisco 49ers, the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, the 49ers are the only one left standing, with Dallas and Philadelphia both getting blown out during a shocking wild-card weekend.
In a similarly surprising twist, Niners players and coaches did their best not to dance on the Cowboys and Eagles’ graves.
From Nick Bosa saying the 49ers provided the “blueprint” for beating the Eagles, to Deebo Samuel calling Eagles cornerback James Bradberry “trash,” to the entire team relishing crushing the Cowboys earlier this season, the 49ers haven’t been shy about their feelings towards their vanquished NFC foes.
