An early mistake by 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan put his team behind by a touchdown early in the NFC Championship game against the Eagles.
An early mistake by San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan put his team behind by a touchdown early in Sunday’s 2023 NFC Championship game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Eagles decided to go for it on fourth-and-3 at the 49ers’ 35-yard line less than five minutes into the game, and after quarterback Jalen Hurts scrambled to his left, he connected with wide receiver DeVonta Smith, who made what appeared to be an impressive one-handed catch for 29 yards to get Philadelphia down to the 6-yard line.
However, replays showed that the ball was bobbled and hit the ground. Smith and the Eagles hurried to the line of scrimmage to get the next play off, and Shanahan did not challenge.
