Although Philadelphia advanced deep into San Francisco territory late in the game, Philadelphia failed to score a touchdown and was eliminated in the first round of the NFL playoffs.

This means that the hope of a title defense is gone for Philadelphia, which won the Super Bowl in February 2025 after defeating the Kansas City Chiefs.

San Francisco faces Seattle in the next round.
