The 49ers' ability to cover

With Fred Warner and Joey Bosa, San Francisco has a star-studded lineup. Bosa, a first-time All-Pro pick, finished second in tackles for loss and led the NFL with 18.5 sacks this season. Bosa is an excellent pass rusher by any standard, having forced the quarterback 95 times and having a 17.7% pressure rate. Warner is a superb and adaptable linebacker who, in his role as the position's primary defender, was first in the NFL for the completion rate he allowed. He also came in at No. 4 in terms of linebacker coverage passer ratings allowed (64.3), which enables the coaching staff in San Francisco to open up aggressive defensive routes. This season, the 49ers were the best in the NFL in terms of total yards allowed (300.6 per game), points allowed per possession (1.45), and scoring defense (16.3 points allowed per game). San Francisco had a 15.3% defensive turnover percentage but produced a league-high 20 interceptions and 30 takeaways.

The Eagles' ability to cover

Jalen Hurts, a quarterback, averages more than 290 total yards per game while having 38 touchdown passes and just eight interceptions. His passer rating (101.5), QBR (66.4), yards per attempt (8.0), and interception rate (1.3%) all placed him in the top five in the NFL. He also had the second-most rushing touchdowns of any quarterback in NFL history—13—and the second-highest passer rating (101.5). During the regular season, Philadelphia's team was in the top three in terms of scoring, total yards, first downs, rushing touchdowns, and efficiency in the end zone. It also had top-five rankings in terms of rushing yards, third down efficiency, and turnover prevention.

Running back Miles Sanders was among the top eight players in the league in rushing yards (1,269) and rushing touchdowns (11) this season. Philadelphia exploded for 268 yards on 6.1 yards per carry last week against New York. A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith, two outside wide receivers with 1,000-yard careers, help Philadelphia's offense be versatile and strong.
