The San Francisco 49ers stunned the Philadelphia Eagles in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs, sealing a 23-19 road victory with a four-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Brock Purdy to running back Christian McCaffrey with 2:59 remaining.
The win propelled the 49ers into the Divisional Round, where they'll face the Seattle Seahawks.
When speaking with reporters on Wednesday, 49ers left tackle Trent Williams was asked about criticism from some Eagles fans, who claimed he was holding during the game-winning touchdown and should have been flagged.
That was news to Williams, who said, "Oh, really?"
Williams responded to the accusations with humor.
"I didn't see a flag," Williams said with a smile. "Hey, you only get a speeding ticket when you get pulled over, right? I didn't see a flag."
According to Pro Football Talk, Williams has been flagged for just one holding penalty across 630 pass-blocking snaps this season, including the playoffs. The All-Pro left tackle was named to his 12th Pro Bowl and remains one of the best blockers in the league.
Williams played through a hamstring injury against the Eagles, but it doesn't appear he suffered any setback. He was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
