Deebo Samuel Dismisses 49ers-Eagles Rivalry Ahead of Super Bowl

The 49ers' wide receiver cites lack of close games as reason for dismissing rivalry with Eagles, sparking debate.

Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver, dismisses the idea of a rivalry with the Philadelphia Eagles, citing the lack of close games.
Samuel's comments came during Super Bowl LVIII opening night festivities, ahead of the 49ers' game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The 49ers defeated the Eagles 42-19 in a regular season game, a match Samuel highlighted to support his view.
Samuel had previously criticized Eagles players and the outcome of last year's NFC Championship game, where the Eagles won 31-7.
Despite Samuel's dismissal, the interactions between the teams suggest an ongoing competitive tension.
