Eagles release epic hype video ahead of Week 13 showdown vs. 49ers

The Philadelphia Eagles are willing to do whatever it takes and dropped this epic hype video ahead of Sunday’s matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

After ten months of talking, speculations, what-ifs, and rule changes, the San Francisco 49ers will get another shot at the Philadelphia Eagles with a healthy Brock Purdy at quarterback.

Purdy was knocked out of the NFC Championship loss to the Eagles.

After Josh Johnson was forced to exit, the NFL instituted a new rule, allowing teams to dress three quarterbacks, with the third signal-caller only entering the game in case of two guys leaving with an injury.

With the matchup now just 24 hours away, the Eagles dropped this epic hype video, letting fans and the Niners know that they”‘ll do “whatever it takes.”

Quarterback Jalen Hurts was 15-25 passing for 121 yards passing on the day, as Philadelphia racked up the bulk of their yards on the ground.

Miles Sanders and Kenneth Gainwell had 40+ yards rushing, while Boston Scott scored a touchdown in his third straight game.

San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy was forced to exit the first quarter with an elbow injury, and the NFC West champions saw their offense sputter from theirs.

Purdy was forced back into action after fourth-string quarterback Josh Johnson suffered a concussion.

Since then, Deebo Samuel has called James Bradberry “trash,” and Nick Bosa has called for the tush push to be banned.

During the NFL schedule release, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was excited about the league giving his team a chance to have a healthy Purdy under center.

Kyle Shanahan not worried about RT Colton McKivitz after rough game vs. Steelers

Colton McKivitz had a rough game Sunday, but #49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan isn’t pondering any changes on the OL.

Week 1 was a tough assignment for new 49ers right tackle Colton McKivitz, who was on an island with former Defensive Player of the Year TJ Watt more than once against the Steelers.

Watt tallied three sacks, all allowed by McKivitz. The right tackle also allowed five of the 15 pressures generated by the Steelers pass rush.

Despite a rough first game for McKivitz, head coach Kyle Shanahan isn’t worried about his new right tackle in part because of the nature of the matchup.

“He had the toughest matchup on the field,” Shanahan said in a Monday conference call. “There was definitely a number that Watt got him. There’s a couple situations we could have helped him out better with some chips and stuff. He battled throughout it, but did good enough for us to win. It was a huge challenge going against that player.”

Shanahan went on to say he believes McKivitz “kept battling and I think he’ll do better next week.”

The 49ers will need an improvement from their starting RT over the next few weeks. While Watt is a tough matchup, he’s not the only All-Pro caliber edge rusher on their schedule.

In Week 5 they’ll face the Cowboys and LB Micah Parsons. In Week 6 they take on the Browns and DEs Myles Garrett and Za’Darius Smith. Week 7 the 49ers visit the Vikings and DE Danielle Hunter.

If McKivitz hasn’t improved by then, those games could become significantly more difficult and it may force the 49ers to explore a change. For now though they’re going to ride the 2020 fifth-round pick in hopes he develops into a reliable option opposite Trent Williams.
