The 2023 NFL playoffs are reaching its crucial stages, with only four teams still in contention. The NFC championshipâand therefore a ticket to the Super Bowlâwill 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 âMr. Irrelevantâ 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, theyâll have home fiield advantage. This aspect, however, doesnât seem to worry 49ers WR Deebo Samuel at all.
49ersâ Deebo Samuel downplays Lincoln Financial Fieldâs atmosphere
âWe know itâs going to be loud, but no stadium is as loud as ours at the end of the day,â Samuel said Wednesday, as quoted by 49ers Web Zone. âTheyâre at home, NFC Championship. Theyâre going to be all riled up. We donât really too much feed into all that because we put the pads on and just go to work.â
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 Fieldâs atmosphere to be at its peak on Sunday, Samuel looks confident it will not affect his team.
