The past eight days have not been kind to the Philadelphia Eagles. The San Francisco 49ers entered Lincoln Financial Field a week ago and dismantled the home team 42-19. On Sunday night, the Eagles visited AT&T Stadium and suffered a 33-13 loss against their division rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
This development was good news for the 49ers. While all three teams now stand at 10-3, San Francisco holds the head-to-head tiebreaker, having defeated both the Cowboys and Eagles this season.

Jordan Mason punched in CMC's opening gain for his third touchdown of the year, WR Deebo Samuel went back-to-back games with multiple TDs, and TE George Kittle added a late score on a stellar deep ball from QB Brock Purdy. It wasn't a true rout - defensive miscues and injuries allowed a handful of preventable explosive plays - but with Seattle starter Geno Smith sidelined shortly before the game, the 49ers easily did enough to keep things from getting
How John Lynch's input shaped 49ers' defensive strategy against DK Metcalf
The San Francisco 49ers faced a tight schedule leading up to their Thursday night NFC West clash with the Seattle Seahawks. Despite the challenges, the defense successfully contained Seattle's main offensive threat, wide receiver DK Metcalf, limiting him to three catches for 32 yards on nine targets while primarily covered by cornerback Charvarius Ward.
