Birds with a 26-yard FG on the opening drive.
3-0, Birds, with 9:51 left in the 1st qtr

Bummer to miss the TD on that drive but they moved the ball well.
Birds with another good looking drive on their 2nd possession, but have to settle for a 39-yard FG. 6-0, Birds, with 2:01 left in the 1st qtr
It’s hard to beat top teams by settling for FGs. SF must be thrilled to only be down 6-0. This sets up well for them.
Birds' D forces another 3 & out for the Niners. Other than the Birds' O not scoring TDs on their 2 possessions, things have gone very well for the Birds so far.
Birds' O goes 3 & out on their 3rd possession. A false start by Hurts when it was 3rd & 6 didn't help
Niners put together a nice drive on their 3rd possession.
On 3rd & goal from the 4, they have an incompletion in the endzone. Alas, the Birds are called offsides on the play, so the Niners have a 3rd & goal at the 2. And they get a TD on their extra 3rd down attempt. On replay, it does not appear to be a catch, but it's close. Play is being reviewed -- I could see it being ruled either way.

There it is. Despite dominating early, SF takes the lead 7-6. The Eagles had their chances to but SF in a hole and didn’t.
It's ruled a catch on review, so it's TD, Niners.
With the PAT, it's 7-6, Niners, with 7:10 left in the 2nd qtr.

Greg Olson thinks it's great coverage, and I think it's PI on the Niners (not called). smh
