Regarding Mahommes and the ankle:

From SI: 
"Additionally, the Chiefs coach noted that this ankle injury isn’t nearly as bad as the one Mahomes suffered in 2019. The quarterback didn’t miss any games after sustaining the injury that season, which could mean it’s promising for him to play on Sunday."

Regarding 2019 from ABC: "Mahomes injured his ankle in Week 1 of the 2019 season, also against the Jaguars, and didn't miss any time, throwing seven touchdowns and averaging 409 passing yards while leading the Chiefs to victories the next two games, according to ESPN Stats & Information research."

While it's too soon to tell, Mahomes has been down this road before (and just for the record, I'm neither Chris Robinson nor Peter Bergman).

Yeah, but Mahomes is old now... ;)

Playoff records of the starting QBs in the 2022 season NFC CG

Brock Purdy: 2-0
Jalen Hurts: 1-1

Some preliminary thoughts on this Niners-Eagles matchup:

QB - Even (despite Hurts clearly being a superior physical athlete and Purdy a rookie)
RB - Even
WR - Eagles
TE - Niners
OL - Eagles
DL - Even
LB - Niners (this is the largest edge of any position group, IMO)
CB - Eagles
S - Niners

Even the positions I'd argue there is an edge, it's not like the other side is chopped liver. Nobody has a real advantage, IMO. That means it comes down to coaching (which includes execution), turnovers, and the vagaries of penalties.

In two games, Philadelphia has given up 57 points to the Cowboys, averaging 28.5 points scored against their defense. The Cowboys scored 12 against the 49ers. Of course, the Eagles scored 60 against the Cowboys in those two games.

Opening line is Eagles favored by 2. Should get interesting.
