The Philadelphia Eagles denied Brock Purdy a fairytale Super Bowl appearance after beating the San Francisco 49ers 31-7 in the Conference Championships.
This season’s ‘Mr Irrelevant’ hoped to become the first rookie quarterback to reach the NFL’s title game after winning his first seven NFL starts.
But the Eagles proved too strong after Purdy was injured in the first quarter.
The 49ers also lost their fourth-string quarterback to injury as the top seeds in the NFC Conference eased home.
That means the Eagles will play in the NFL’s showcase event for the fourth time and the first time in five years.
Philly beat the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52 to claim their first NFL championship at the end of the 2018 season.
Nick Sirianni’s team shared the best record in the NFL’s regular season of 14-3, along with the Kansas City Chiefs who host the Cincinnati Bengals later on Sunday to decide who will face the Eagles in Arizona on 12 February.
