49ers. Eagles. One will advance to the Super Bowl. One will go home.

During Friday morning’s edition of The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross, Jason was joined by Greg Papa, the radio voice of the San Francisco 49ers, to preview Sunday’s NFC Championship game against the number-one seed Philadelphia Eagles.

Can the 49ers slow down Jalen Hurts without being flagged for roughing the passer? Will Christian McCaffrey and the rest of San Francisco’s running game be able to break through the Eagles’ defense?

Papa breaks it all down:

Topics discussed include:

  • Papa talks about how stressful last week’s Divisional Round game against the Dallas Cowboys was
  • Will the 49ers be able to utilize their running game against a tough Eagles defense?
  • Jalen Hurts runs the ball a lot. How can San Francisco avoid getting roughing the passer calls?
  • What is the biggest concern for the 49ers’ defense?
