Week 13 of the 2023 NFL season features one of the most highly-anticipated matchups of the year as the San Francisco 49ers take on the Philadelphia Eagles in a 2023 NFC Championship game rematch.
The 49ers didn’t stand much of a chance against the Eagles as they saw Brock Purdy get hurt in the first quarter, while backup Josh Johnson later suffered a concussion that forced him to exit the game.
Purdy admirably tried to play through the injury, but at that point it was futile as Philadelphia’s defense simply pinned their ears back and made it impossible for San Francisco to catch up.
The two squads have been at the top of the conference for almost the entire season and round two between them should be an electrifying time for fans.
The Eagles continue to find ways to win thrilling games, while the 49ers have rebounded after a three-game skid in the middle of the season.
However, Emmanuel Acho wants to see if Purdy is up to the challenge of beating the reigning NFC Champions via Speak.
“Brock Purdy needs to prove that he can beat the Eagles,” Acho said.

Acho said that seeing Purdy beat Philadelphia in the regular season would give him more confidence about San Francisco’s chances of being able to do it in the postseason.
As things stand now, the Eagles look like the team any NFC playoff hopeful will need to go through in order to make the Super Bowl so Purdy and company have their work cut out for them if they want to prove any doubters like Acho wrong.
