WATCH: Jalen Hurts gets up gingerly following dirty hit by 49ers defender

With several players, especially quarterbacks, ailing at this point of the playoffs, teams are taking plenty of care of their stars as they try to earn their spots in Super Bowl LVII. However, late in the third quarter against San Francisco in the NFC Championship, Philadelphia nearly had another injury scare surrounding QB Jalen Hurts.

After a 15-yard rush, Hurts headed out of bounds to protect himself. Talanoa Hufanga had different ideas, though, with a late shove that sent Hurts flying into a group of people on the sideline.

With Hurts having missed time over the last several weeks with a sprained joint in his shoulder, this could have put the Eagles quarterback at risk of reinjuring himself. With that said, he got right back up and, as of now, is less than a quarter away from taking Philly to the Super Bowl.

WATCH: Eagles coach Nick Sirianni loses his gum in anger after offensive mistake

The Eagles finished the first half of the NFC Championship Game with a small mistake, leading to coach Nick Sirianni losing his gum in anger. Despite putting up a quick 14 points to take a 21-7 lead into halftime, Philadelphia’s offense drew the ire of their coach in hilarious fashion on the sideline.

Sirianni was screaming at his team for lining up with 12 men on the field for a two-point attempt and cameras caught his gum fly out of his mouth during the tirade.

The Eagles closed out the second quarter with a pair of quick touchdowns while taking advantage of a fumble from San Francisco’s fourth-string quarterback, Josh Johnson. Despite the big plays, Sirianni showed the intensity it takes to coach deep into the NFL playoffs by laying into his team after a personnel mistake.

After scoring their their third touchdown of the half, Philadelphia attempted to eke out another point by using their available timeouts that they wouldn’t get a chance to use before the half. As the broadcast team highlighted, the Eagles could bring their offense onto the field to threaten a two-point play and use a hard snap count to try and draw a San Francisco defender offsides. With timeouts to burn, they could simply call a timeout and kick the football if the 49ers defense held their water.

Unfortunately, they had to burn the timeout to avoid a penalty for having 12 players in the huddle — prompting Sirianni’s outburst.
