The 49ers are the only remaining team in the playoffs that can 'win ugly' and are the scariest matchup for the Eagles

The Niners can win the game ugly. If there was one team left right now... the Niners are probably the last team that I would like to see left on both sides. They're respectable foes.

Opinion Football Medium

While Max feared them, the Eagles ended up winning 31-7 after the 49ers lost all their quarterbacks to injury.

The NFL Divisional Round was the 'Fly' episode of the season, setting up a legendary Championship Sunday

This was the fly episode of the NFL and next weekend we got Ozymandias and everybody's gonna die. The matchups that we have coming in next weekend and the storylines are gonna be awesome.

Opinion Football Mild

The Championship games (Bengals-Chiefs, 49ers-Eagles) were indeed highly anticipated, though the NFC game ended up being a blowout due to Purdy's injury.

Patrick Mahomes with only one working leg is still a top 15 NFL quarterback

I think [Patrick Mahomes] with a leg, one leg that doesn't work is still a top 15 quarterback in the NFL. Legitimately.

Opinion Football Medium

Mahomes won the AFC Championship and the Super Bowl while clearly still recovering from the injury, proving his elite level despite physical limitation.

Patrick Mahomes will play in the AFC Championship but will be physically diminished

I would say [Patrick Mahomes] is gonna play, but he's gonna be diminished. You're not gonna get full Mahomes. It's more just being as mobile as he is behind the line of scrimmage and keeping plays alive.
