The 49ers had two challenge decisions go against them early in the first quarter, but a late booth review helped swing momentum back their way
A chaotic first quarter saw three challenge decisions swing momentum in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game between the 49ers and Eagles — and helped keep the game tied.
The Eagles took a 7-0 lead on their opening drive thanks in large part to a massive 29-yard catch by DeVonta Smith, who made an acrobatic one-handed catch on fourth-and-3. But on replay reviews, it became clear that Smith didn’t catch the pass cleanly. The wide receiver even seemed to acknowledge this himself, making a hand signal for his teammates to rush to the line and get a play off quickly before too many replays could be looked at.
Fox’s telecast didn’t show whether 49ers coach Shanahan was trying to get the challenge flag out in time or not, but the Eagles got the first-and-goal play off without a stoppage and scored on the second-and-goal rush from Miles Sanders from six yards out. The Devonta Smith one-handed catch should've actually been incomplete as the ball clearly hit the ground. Eagles hurried to the line, seems like the 49ers didn't get the correct angle in time. Huge, huge miss.
