The Philadelphia Eagles are representing the NFC in the Super Bowl after cruising past the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game, 31-7.
The Eagles’ defense was the story of the game, knocking Brock Purdy and backup Josh Johnson out with injuries. The Eagles sacked the 49ers three times and forced three turnovers.
Kenneth Gainwell and Miles Sanders carried the Eagles offense with 90 combined rushing yards, with Sanders scoring two touchdowns.
The Eagles will face the Kansas City Chiefs, who knocked off the Cincinnati Bengals 23-20 on a game-winning field goal in the AFC Championship.
The Super Bowl is Feb. 12 in Glendale, Arizona, with kickoff scheduled for 6:30 p.m.

Eagles vs. Chiefs early line movement at PA sportsbooks
Before the conference championship games, DraftKings PA Sportsbook had lookahead lines for the four potential Super Bowl matchups. The Chiefs opened as a 1-point favorite against the Eagles prior to the NFC Championship game.
Those odds were taken down and the actual Super Bowl odds became available as soon as Harrison Butker’s field goal gave the Chiefs the win. Once reopened, the Eagles were 1-point favorites before getting to -2.5 by Sunday night. The Eagles dropped to 2-point favorites and now sit at -1.5.
Eagles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl betting preview
There is a ton of history and storylines between the Eagles and Chiefs. Andy Reid is 3-0 against the Eagles since getting fired in 2012. As a member of the AFC, the Super Bowl is the only place the two teams can meet in the playoffs. Reid spent 14 years in Philadelphia, compiling a 130-93-1 record, and is winningest coach in Eagles history.
Brotherly love has a bit more meaning for Jason Kelce, as he’s taking on his brother Travis on Super Bowl Sunday. It’s the first set of brothers to ever face each other in the Super Bowl. It’s possible that Jason and Travis Kelce will be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, which would be another first.
This is the first time since 2017, the last time the Eagles won the Super Bowl, that both No. 1 seeds are facing each other. The Eagles defeated the No. 1 seed Patriots 41-33 in February 2018.

Eagles vs. Chiefs Super Bowl injury report
No Eagles player on the active roster showed up on the injury report prior to Sunday’s game vs. the 49ers. Jalen Hurts, who suffered a sprained shoulder in Week 15, and Lane Johnson, playing through a torn adductor he hurt in Week 16, both practiced fully and came out of Sunday’s game unscathed.
Patrick Mahomes suffered a high ankle sprain in the AFC Divisional Round vs. Jacksonville and also practiced fully leading up to the AFC Championship game. Mahomes looked hobbled on Sunday, so it remains to be seen what his practice participation will be ahead of the Super Bowl.
Other Chiefs injuries include JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee), Kadarius Toney (ankle), Willie Gay (shoulder) and L’Jarius Sneed (concussion).
