Haason Reddick delivered the biggest blow, and the rest of the Philadelphia Eagles teamed up to finish off the visiting San Francisco 49ers.

Reddick effectively neutered the 49ers’ offensive game plan with his hit on San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy to set the tone early during an easy 31-7 victory in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday to propel Philadelphia into the Super Bowl.Start your day with a roundup of B.C.-focused news and opinion delivered straight to your inbox at 7 a.m., Monday to Friday.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

“It means everything to me,” Reddick said of reaching his first Super Bowl. “It took me a long time to get to the playoffs. … This team, the things we’ve been through, the way we played to get to this point, I can’t explain it. It’s been a heck of a journey.” San Francisco was left without firepower after Purdy — the 262nd and final pick of the 2022 draft — injured his throwing elbow. He re-entered the game out of need in the third quarter after backup Josh Johnson sustained a concussion.Article content

“Losing feels awful,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “This one a lot harder. … I thought we had a chance to knock them off today and we came up short.”“He couldn’t throw,” Shanahan said. “He wouldn’t have gone back in if we hadn’t had to. It was that or we were going to have Wildcat.”Article content

Johnson took over on San Francisco’s next possession when Purdy determined he couldn’t throw the ball. On San Francisco’s next possession, Johnson took his eyes off a shotgun snap and dropped the ball, and Reddick recovered at the 49ers 30. Three plays later, Scott scored on a 10-yard run to give Philadelphia a 21-7 advantage 16 seconds before halftime.Article content
