**San Francisco 49ers Stun Defending Champions Eagles in Thrilling NFL Play-off Upset** The San Francisco 49ers produced a stunning 23-19 upset over the Philadelphia Eagles, defying the odds as the sixth seed in the NFC. The thrilling win marked a repeat of the 2023 NFC Championship game, where the Eagles denied 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy a Super Bowl appearance in his rookie season. This time, Purdy bounced back from a second interception to lead a game-winning drive, culminating with his second touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey with 2:54 left on the clock. The 49ers will now face divisional rivals Seattle in next week's Divisional Round, while the Los Angeles Rams also secured a spot in the playoffs, and the top-seeded Seahawks got a bye. The AFC's sixth seed Buffalo Bills also claimed a late 27-24 win on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars, keeping alive Josh Allen's hopes of reaching his first Super Bowl. The New England Patriots added to the excitement, beating the Los Angeles Chargers 16-3 to claim their first playoff win since 2019. The Patriots' win marked a fresh England division title and set up a potential showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers or Houston Texans in the Divisional Round. With seven games left before Super Bowl 60 on February 8, the NFL play-offs continue to be filled with thrilling upsets and nail-biting finishes.
