49ers run defense dominant in Philly

The 49ers run defense was good as heck against a very good Eagles run game:

Perhaps the most game-changing aspect of the 49ers’ performance in Philadelphia was how dominant their run defense was.

The Eagles managed only 46 rushing yards on 18 attempts. Their longest run of the game was a seven-yard scramble by quarterback Jalen Hurts.

Philadelphia entered the game ranked No. 9 in the NFL in rushing yards and No. 3 in the NFL in first downs on the ground. On Sunday they did not convert a third down on the ground, and their only two first downs via the run came on a one-yard touchdown and a fourth-and-short conversion. Both of those runs came on the Eagles’ so-called “brotherly shove” play.

According to Josh Dubow of the Associated Press, the 49ers held the Eagles to their lowest rushing total in a half decade:

If the 49ers run defense is as good the rest of the year as it was Sunday against an excellent running team like the Eagles, they’ll be extremely hard to beat come playoff time.

Eagles-Saints injury report: Miles Sanders among 4 to not practice, A.J. Brown listed as limited

The Philadelphia Eagles held a Wednesday walkthrough with Miles Sanders and Jalen Hurts among four players to not practice, while A.J. Brown and Jordan Davis were limited

The Eagles released their initial injury report for Sunday’s matchup against the Saints, and Miles Sanders was among four players to sit out practice.

Philadelphia participated in a walkthrough, so the injury report was an estimation, while A.J. Brown and Jordan Davis were limited participants.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts is pushing to play, but was a non-participant in Wednesday’s session, while the team awaits word on C.J. Gardner-Johnson. The star safety didn’t have his 21-day practice window activated, meaning he’ll miss another week.

Lane Johnson is delaying surgery on his injured abdominal in will rehab before returning for the playoffs.

Eagles QB Gardner Minshew hooks up with DeVonta Smith for 14 yard TD vs. Cowboys

Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs has been aggressive all game and the Eagles took advantage on this Gardner Minshew 14-yard TD pass to DeVonta Smith

Being aggressive has its benefits and the Eagles have jumped out to a double-digit lead over the Cowboys thanks to some timely play calling on fourth down.

Earlier in the ballgame A.J. Brown took advantage of Trevon Diggs’s aggressive style of play, hauling in a dime from Gardner Minshew on an out-and-up move that confused the Dallas star cornerback.

Minshew is now 13-21 for 212 yards, one touchdown, and one interception as Philadelphia looks to overcome another costly turnover late in the third quarter.
