The last time the San Francisco 49ers were in Philadelphia, Brock Purdy suffered a UCL tear in an absolute dud of an NFC Championship Game that saw the Eagles head to the Super Bowl.

But the 49ers exacted their revenge on Sunday night, taking down the NFL's best team by record, 42-19, as they improved to 9-3 on the season. 

The Eagles fell to 10-2.

Deebo Samuel, the veteran speedster for the 49ers, was a key reason why his team was able to dominate one of the best defenses in the league in Philadelphia.

Samuel scored three of the six touchdowns San Fran put up on the scoreboard Sunday, and it was his pure speed and elusive abilities that made it happen. 

They all came in the second half, too.

The 49ers had a shaky start to this game as the Eagles forced back-to-back three-and-outs, though San Fran's defense held them to just two field goals for a 6-0 lead.

That's when quarterback Brock Purdy got to work, going 85 yards on 11 plays to find Brandon Aiyuk for the 49ers' first touchdown of the game. Just like that, despite the slow start, they had the lead.

After some more stout defense, the 49ers went even further on their next drive, hauling 90 yards downfield with Christian McCaffrey adding yet another rushing touchdown to his resume from two yards
