It was a wild ride for NFL<\/a> fans and bettors on Sunday, with the AFC and NFC Championships providing very different outcomes. Drake, the rapper and face of Stake.com, had a good day, winning back some of the losses he’s suffered in high-profile bets over the past year.<\/p>\n

The Philadelphia Eagles, led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, will play in a Super Bowl for the first time since 2018. That year, they took down QB Tom Brady and his New England Patriots. Hurts finished the NFC title game going 15-of-25 passing for 121 yards and had a rushing touchdown (39 yards rushing total).<\/p>\n

The Kansas City Chiefs made it to Super Bowl LVII after defeating the Bengals 23-20 for the AFC title. It was a special night for QB Patrick Mahomes<\/a>, as he was finally able to beat Bengals QB Joe Burrow with the support of his offensive line.<\/p>\n

Eagles Put Up Unstoppable Performance<\/h2>\n

Philadelphia relied on the run to generate most of its offense against San Francisco, scoring all four of its touchdowns on the ground. In addition to Hurts, Miles Sanders and Boston Scott combined for three scores in a packed Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

49ers QB Brock Purdy suffered an elbow injury on his team’s first possession and missed most of the first half. When he returned in the second half, he couldn’t throw the ball and didn\u2019t look like the athlete who turned the Niners\u2019 season around and let them advance this far. However, he can\u2019t take the blame for the loss.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

San Francisco\u2019s offense was no match for an Eagles defense that was a destructive, unstoppable machine for the entire game. Not even running back Christian McCaffrey, for all his efforts, was able to make a real difference for the 49ers.<\/p>\n
