San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy hasn't taken a step wrong since making his debut in the NFL. On Sunday, he is set to face the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

On Monday Night Raw in Philadelphia, Paul Heyman recently gave a shoutout to Purdy and claimed that he would conquer the Eagles in the much-awaited matchup.

Here's how the fans on social media reacted to Heyman's statement about the game between the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers:

@gawadenikhil852 @KNBR @WWE Bloodline are niner fans, the whole family. Heyman did a promo before the game Sunday too naming Brock Purdy. They’re now playing Philly this Sunday, where they just happen to be for raw tonight. A troll job written in the stars

@KNBR @WWE Some boos, yes. But it looked like there were plenty of cheers too. Hard to tell which was louder. Looking the crowd, there were hands raised, clapping, and thumbs down.

The NFC Championship Game between the Eagles and 49ers will be played in Philadelphia and the fans are going to be very loud. Purdy could be under a lot of pressure as he hasn't played an away playoff game yet.

Jalen Hurts could have won the MVP award this season had he stayed healthy. He played exceptionally well in the Divisional Round Game against the New York Giants. Although the Eagles' matchup against the 49ers will be difficult, they have a chance to win.

Brock Purdy is on a fairytale run

Brock Purdy: NFC Divisional Playoffs - Dallas Cowboys v San Francisco 49ers

Brock Purdy was the last pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and was 'Mr. Irrelevant' for this season. Since he stepped in to replace the injured Jimmy Garoppolo, Purdy has been anything but irrelevant.

He has yet to lose a game for the 49ers and is playing with a level of confidence that is unusual for a rookie quarterback. Purdy has a passer rating of 107.3 in 9 games this season, with 1,374 yards, 13 touchdowns, and 4 interceptions. He has a passer rating of 109.9 in two playoff games, with 546 yards and three touchdowns.

Think back to when Brock Purdy came jogging onto the field against Miami in Week 13

If someone told you the 49ers would be playing in an NFC Championship after Purdy started the last 7 games, what would your response have been

The Eagles' defense will arguably provide the toughest challenge for Purdy in his NFL career, but he has a lot of weapons to rely upon. Deebo Samuel, Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, Elijah Mitchell, and George Kittle are all healthy and will look to become a difference maker on Sunday.

The game between the 49ers and the Eagles will be a must-see, and it will be exciting to see who will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl.
