The San Francisco 49ers entered their matchup with the Philadelphia Eagles with much to prove.
There was a growing narrative heading into this game that Brock Purdy could not overcome the Eagles’ offensive line.
However, he overcame any of his pregame doubters, and Purdy found a way to dominate the Eagles.
While the team has struggled at times, the 49ers seem to be back to full strength, ready to beat any team that comes their way.
After their victory over the Eagles, Emmanuel Acho pointed out a potential indicator of postseason success for the 49ers.
He showcased the 49ers’ overall score against the Eagles and the Cowboys this season, beating both teams by a combined total of 84-29.
The Niners have played the 2 best teams in the NFC- The Eagles and the Cowboys.
The Niners have won by a combined score of 84-29.
A healthy Niners team is the best team in the @NFL.

Acho believes the 49ers are the best team in the NFL, at least when healthy.
A team’s schedule is not determined by the team but by the NFL.
Teams cannot choose their opponents, so schedules can be easier in some years than others.
The 49ers have had a demanding schedule this year and have not only played well against the NFC’s best teams but outscored them by a wide margin.
This should bode well for the 49ers heading into a potentially deep playoff run.
They have already faced off against two of the conference’s juggernauts, taking them both down.
With this in mind, they will hold tiebreakers with both teams, which could play a big part in determining the No. 1 seed in the playoffs.
Will the 49ers finish the season strong, proving Acho’s comments right about being the NFL’s best team?
