Philadelphia (dpa) – The Philadelphia Eagles have lost a home game for the first time this season and have to fear for their home rights in the playoffs five weeks before the end of the main round. After four recent comeback victories, last season’s Super Bowl participants lost to the San Francisco 49ers 19:42 in the most important game of the day.
With now two defeats, the Dallas Cowboys could draw level with the Eagles at the top of the NFC in a direct duel next week. The 49ers are also breathing down the Eagles’ neck with nine wins and three losses.
In the rematch of last season’s NFC Conference Finals, which the 49ers clearly lost after quarterback Brock Purdy was injured, the roles were reversed. Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts even had to be taken off the field and examined in the fourth quarter – but by then the game was as good as decided. Purdy excelled with four touchdown passes and threw for 314 yards. Deebo Samuel caught two touchdowns on passes and had another on a run.
Mahomes unsouverän
In the late game, the Kansas City Chiefs lost to the Green Bay Packers and suffered their third defeat in the last five games. At 19:27, the defending champions around quarterback Patrick Mahomes appeared inconfident, incurred many unnecessary penalties and allowed the Packers to gain a lot of space in individual scenes on several occasions. However, the Chiefs were unlucky in the final phase when two clear violations of the rules by the Packers defenders on long passes were not recognized by the referees. Packers quarterback Jordan Love impressed with three touchdown passes, while Mahomes only had one successful pass into the end zone and made a crucial missed throw with 4:37 minutes left.
Meanwhile, the New Orleans Saints, who lost 28:33 to Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Detroit Lions, are worried about quarterback Derek Carr. The 32-year-old had to leave the field in the fourth quarter due to shoulder and back injuries. The Saints also announced that he is in the league’s concussion protocol. Carr was attacked harshly by Lions player Bruce Irvin. It was the third time this season for Carr that he had to leave a game early with an injury. Jameis Winston came for him.
