Like the San Francisco 49ers’ most recent victims — the Dallas Cowboys — the Philadelphia Eagles also feature a stout defensive line that can swallow opposing offenses alive. The Eagles’ pass rush is expected to be a big thorn in the side of San Francisco, but the 49ers trust head coach Kyle Shanahan to provide them with the right antidote to Philly’s defense come gameday.

The 49ers might even follow the same gameplan they had against the Cowboys, which was to run the ball down the throat of the Eagles, Rexwell Villas of Clutchpoints reports.

Shanahan wouldn’t go into much detail about San Francisco’s game plan, but he hinted at a potential rerun of how they attacked the Cowboys in the Divisional Round.

“The better defenses you go against,” Shanahan said Monday, per Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. “That style usually leads to slowing guys down and not allowing other teams to play how they want to.”
