8 former Eagles are on AFC, NFC Championship rosters

The Philadelphia Eagles have 8 former players playing on AFC and NFC Championship rosters ahead of Sunday’s matchups.

The Eagles are home after a disappointing finish to their season that saw the team lose 6 of their final seven games, including a 32-9 loss to the Buccaneers in the NFC wild-card game.

One big reason for the downward spiral on both sides of the football can be found in free-agent losses that have thrived with other clubs.

As Philadelphia works to hire two new coordinators, eight former Eagles are set to play in the AFC and NFC title games, including two All-Pro caliber talents and one safety who should still be on the roster.

WATCH: One carry, one touchdown for #49ers RB JaMycal Hasty.

Rookie RB Elijah Mitchell was the key piece on the 49ers’ third scoring drive, but it was JaMycal Hasty who capped off the series.

The second-year undrafted running back from Baylor took his first carry of the game in for a touchdown from three yards out. He was hit before the goal line, but got the ball into the end zone with a good second effort push.

The 49ers as a team have rushed 11 times for 88 yards and two touchdowns.

While the 49ers find themselves in the playoff conversation, the Lions reside at the bottom of virtually every pre-season power rankings.
