After just four more quarters, one NFC team will advance to Super Bowl 2023.
As for who it will be, well, that will be decided in the NFC Championship game on Sunday, Jan. 29 between Nick Sirianni’s Philadelphia Eagles and Kyle Shanahan’s San Francisco 49ers at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field.
The 15-3 Eagles, led by the play of quarterback Jalen Hurts, wide receiver Devonta Smith and running back Kenneth Gainwell in their 38-7 NFC Divisional Round routing of the New York Giants, have home-field advantage.
Is home-field important to the Eagles? Well, they’re 8-2 at home this year and 7-1 on the road; basically, they can win anywhere.
As for their opponents, the 14-4 49ers, they don’t love playing on the road. Throughout the regular season, they went 5-3 when they were away from Levi’s Stadium.
Plus, they’ll be starting rookie phenom Brock Purdy, who will become just the fifth quarterback to start an NFC Championship game in NFL history — all after he was the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
Will Purdy and the Niners ride their momentum to a huge victory?
Or will Hurts and Co. easily oust the NFC West’s best team?
All we know is the best way to find out is live.

This won’t be the first time Jalen Hurts faced off against Brock Purdy.
The two elite quarterbacks met in a November 2019 game between Hurts’ Oklahoma Sooners and Purdy’s Iowa State Cyclones.
Although Purdy had previously dismantled the Sooners during the 2018 season, Hurts and his squad prevailed and won in epic fashion, eking out a tight 42-41 win.
