The San Francisco 49ers stood on business in Week 13, walking into Lincoln Financial Field and stomping the Philadelphia Eagles, 42-19.

On the latest episode of the “Return of the Empire” podcast, Amil Fragoso and Nate Littlefield recap the 49ers’ Week 13 win over the Eagles. They also recap Deebo Samuel’s electrifying performance, the case for both Brock Purdy and Christian McCaffrey winning the 2023 MVP, and what’s in store for them in Week 14.

Also, is Deebo Samuel the best big-game player on the 49ers’ offense? All that & much more on the Return of the Empire.

“I think he’s the epitome of unselfishness,” defensive end Nick Bosa said about Samuel Sunday. “He got paid and obviously that comes with a lot of pressure to be the guy. And when you have so many dudes, you’re not going to get those opps very often. But I love the fact that he can talk and set the stage and walk into a hostile environment and just thrive. That’s what greatness is made of, for sure.”
