The Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers are just moments away from kicking off their huge Sunday Night football debuts for the 2020 NFL season and with both teams dealing with massive injuries on both sides of the ball, here are five matchups to watch when the Birds have the ball:
***
1. Lane Johnson-Jordan Mailata vs. 49ers edge rushers
The 49ers will be without both Nick Bosa and Dee Ford and yet they’ll still be formidable upfront. Arik Armstead (6-7, 292) and Kerry Hyder (6-2, 270) can go and both players have the strength to give Eagles star right tackle Lane Johnson some work.
Hyder leads the team with two sacks and six QB hits and both players will likely see spend the early portion of the game feeling Mailata out.
