Daily News | Key Eagles-49ers matchups to watch in the NFC championship game
The Eagles are now just one game away from reaching the Super Bowl for the second time in six seasons. The conference’s top seed will host the second-seeded San Francisco 49ers in the NFC championship game at 3 p.m. Sunday.
“But we have good players, too, and we’re excited about the matchups. There’s a lot of good-on-good out there that’s going to be happening in this game. That’s what the NFC championship game should be. It’s going to be good-on-good, and it’s going to be tight.”A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith vs. Charvarius Ward and Deommodore Lenoir
Insert A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, who are bound to have opportunities on the outside, especially with tight end Dallas Goedert keeping the opposition honest with his routes across the middle. Similar to Eagles defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, Ryans deploys a zone-heavy scheme with an emphasis on his Cover 3 calls. Those situations will present single coverage matchups for Brown and Smith, a duo that became the first in franchise history to record 1,000-plus receiving yards each.
