Miles Sanders TD gives the Eagles the lead vs. 49ers
DeVonta Smith's fourth-down catch set up Sanders' 6-yard touchdown run.
The Eagles struck first in the opening drive of the NFC championship game, as Miles Sanders found an opening in the 49ers defense for a 6-yard touchdown run Sunday.
The Eagles got into position to score following a clutch 29-yard reception from DeVonta Smith on fourth-and-3. Smith made the catch with one hand and then appeared to signal for the Eagles to get the next play off quickly. A subsequent replay shown on Fox appeared to show Smith didn’t have complete control of the ball.
