The 2023 NFL playoffs are reaching its crucial stages, with only four teams still in contention. The NFC championshipāand therefore a ticket to the Super Bowlāwill be at stake when the 49ers take on the Eagles this weekend.
San Francisco head into this game in high spirits, having reached this stage of the postseason against all odds after having Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo injured. With āMr. Irrelevantā Brock Purdy under center, the Niners are on the brink of making history.
However, a challenging test is up front. Philadelphia clinched the first seed in the conference, destroying the New York Giants in the Divisional Round. Plus, theyāll have home fiield advantage. This aspect, however, doesnāt seem to worry 49ers WR Deebo Samuel at all.
49ersā Deebo Samuel downplays Lincoln Financial Fieldās atmosphere
āWe know itās going to be loud, but no stadium is as loud as ours at the end of the day,ā Samuel said Wednesday, as quoted by 49ers Web Zone. āTheyāre at home, NFC Championship. Theyāre going to be all riled up. We donāt really too much feed into all that because we put the pads on and just go to work.ā
The Eagles take pride in having one of the most passionate fanbases in the league, and their stadium is widely renowned for its loudness. While many expect the Lincoln Financial Fieldās atmosphere to be at its peak on Sunday, Samuel looks confident it will not affect his team.
