It looks like the Eagles got away with one.
If 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan challenged the catch, it likely would have been overturned. San Francisco's offense would have taken over with a first-and-10 from its own 35.
Instead, Philadelphia grabbed a 7-0 lead, and the 49ers’ first offensive drive ended with a fumble by quarterback Brock Purdy.ProFootballTalk's Mike Florio offered insight that the replay assistant at Lincoln Financial Field or officials at Gameday Central in New York could have stopped the action before the Eagles ran their next play.
"The expedited replay review process includes catch/no-catch within the group of plays that can be changed without a full-blown replay review," Florio wrote. If the NFC Championship Game doesn’t end up in San Francisco's favor, this moment will haunt 49ers Faithful into the offseason.
