The Philadelphia Eagles had a run of bad luck after losing to the San Francisco 49ers 42-19 in their Week 13 game. The Eagles finished 11-6 and dropped from the top NFC seed to No. 5 in the standings.
Edge-rusher Nick Bosa of the 49ers made a joke at the time claiming that the team gave the rest of the league a blueprint on how to defeat the Eagles. He might have been correct, given that they dropped six of their final seven games, including their Super Wild Card Weekend encounter against the Tampa Bay Bucs on Monday.
Bosa responded slyly when asked on Tuesday if he was accepting any blame for the Eagles playoff defeat, in which the Bucs held them to 276 yards of total offence, a far cry from their regular-season average of 354.4 yards per game.
According to NBC Sports Bay Area, Bosa remarked, “I actually saw the clip and I was like, ‘Damn, I probably shouldn’t have said that.” “But it turned out quite nicely.”
The 49ers don’t have to worry about repeating their performance from Week 13 in a potential rematch of the NFC Championship game from the previous year, since Philadelphia’s season is already gone.
During that Dec. 3 meeting, the 49ers held Philly to 333 yards of total offense, sacked quarterback Jalen Hurts three times, and forced him to throw a season-high 45 times.
