After a lot of chatter between the San Francisco 49ers and Philadelphia Eagles highly-anticipated game, Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy sent a message en route to a beatdown win over the reigning NFC Champions in their building on Sunday.
With Purdy under center for the entire contest, the 49ers cruised to a 42-19 win over the Eagles behind six straight drives that ended with touchdowns. Purdy tore through the Eagles’ defense, hitting three different receivers for four touchdowns with 314 yards through the air on 19-of-27 passing.
Deebo Samuel answered the bell against the Eagles, landing a trio of critical haymakers on Sunday. Samuel caught four passes for 116 yards and two touchdowns to go along with a touchdown on the ground and 22 yards rushing.
After the 49ers proved they’re one of the best teams in the NFC with a dominant 42-19 win on the road against the Eagles, the NFL community on Twitter exploded with reactions. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Sunday night.

They had zero third-down conversions on the ground. Their two rushing firsts downs were the tush push TD and the tush push 4th-down conversion with Mariota.
Philly's longest run was a 7-yard scramble by Hurts. https://t.co/y8TuDgOGwP

Eagles finished with 46 yards rushing vs #49ers for their fewest yards rushing in a game since they had 34 in a 29-23 loss to Dallas 12/9/2018

84-29 against the two best teams in the NFC East is nuts

The Niners have played the 2 best teams in the NFC- The Eagles and the Cowboys.
The Niners have won by a combined score of 84-29.
A healthy Niners team is the best team in the @NFL.

The mental gymnastics I’m seeing from Eagles fans about tonight’s loss to the Niners is both hilarious and absolutely embarrassing. Just wear it. You got your ass kicked. Wear. It.

Better move Brock Purdy right near/at the top of the MVP favorites list….if you have not already, or if he wasn’t before this game. Don’t argue with me…argue with the stats.
And the tape.
It’s justified.

#49ers Brock Purdy has four games this season with 3+ TD passes and a 140+ rating. That's tied with Tom Brady (2007) and Aaron Rodgers (2011) for the most of those games in a season in NFL history. Brady and Rodgers won MVP those seasons
— Josh Dubow (@JoshDubowAP) December 4, 2023
Anyone that has Jalen Hurts over Brock Purdy for MVP after this is insane!

This is what the 49ers believe that would've done if Brock Purdy had stayed healthy last season
