Interesting note:
On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles will host the San Francisco 49ers for the right to play in Super Bowl LVII.
The quarterback battle is intriguing, pitting Philly’s possible MVP candidate, Jalen Hurts, against “Mr. Irrelevant,” the 49ers’ Brock Purdy. However, Sunday’s conference title game won’t be the first time Hurts and Purdy have faced off. The two went head-to-head during their college days in 2019 when Hurts and the Oklahoma Sooners got the better of Purdy and the Iowa State Cyclones.
Hurts and Purdy both had fantastic days, but Oklahoma came away with a 42-41 victory. Hurts finished 18-of-26 for 273 yards and three touchdowns while adding 68 rushing yards and two scores on the ground. Meanwhile, Purdy ended the day 19-of-30 for 282 yards with five passing touchdowns and a rushing score in a losing effort.
