It’s been a few months since the San Francisco 49ers took a brutal loss against the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship game back in January. The Eagles eventually went on to lose the Super Bowl game against the Kansas City Chiefs. But it seems like the 49ers’ star wide receiver Deebo Samuel is still not over the loss in the NFC Championship game.

During a recent interview with Complex, the former first-team All-Pro wide receiver was asked about the outcome of the 2022 NFC Conference championship game. Samuel didn’t hold back in his answer.

“We lost because we played with 10 people. I ain’t going to keep going on about what could’ve happened and what would’ve happened, but yeah, it would’ve definitely been a different outcome,” said the Pro Bowl receiver.

The Eagles embarrassed the 49ers in their matchup and claimed the NFC Conference title. However, as Samuel mentioned, the Niners star QB Brock Purdy was injured and they were forced to play under their 4th string quarterback. Purdy, who started the season as the third-string QB in the depth charts, was injured in the first quarter of the game.

Nevertheless, the 49ers will get their former third-overall pick Trey Lance as their starting QB for the 2023 season. They certainly have a shot at making a deep playoff run again next season.

During his recent interview with Complex, the San Francisco 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel also claimed his most hated team in the NFL now is the NFC Champions Eagles. After previously stating the Los Angeles Rams as his most hated team, the talented pass catcher has now switched his disdain from the division rivals to conference rivals.

 “I mean hey man, we done wiped the Rams so many times,” said Samuel. “All the trash talk coming from the Eagles fan base and the players, you just get tired of that. My most hated team is the Eagles right now. 100%.”

The 49ers and the Eagles are arguably the top 2 teams in the NFC currently. And they could possibly meet in a playoff game again. Besides, the Niners are scheduled to face the Philadelphia-based football team in the 2023 season and that trip to Philadelphia would be a really interesting one for Deebo Samuel. The Eagles’ fans would surely remember Samuels’ comments about their franchise and would give him a warm welcome to the Lincoln Financial Field.
