"Brock Purdy threw touchdown passes on both their first and last possessions. Do those cancel out his two second-half interceptions? No, but he's paid ($53 million per year) to deliver wins, and he came through in the clutch, completing all six of his passes for 67 yards on the game-winning drive that culminated in a 4-yard prayer to Jake Tonges. Purdy's protection wasn't great, but he got sacked just once, when a blitzing safety slipped past Christian McCaffrey."
"It was no surprise Purdy capped a 14-play, 95-yard opening drive with a 5-yard scoring strike to Kittle. But once Kittle left with a hamstring, the 49ers needed others to step up, and seven others indeed made catches, each seemingly vital in this comeback but in particular McCaffrey (nine catches, 73 yards) and Ricky Pearsall, who had a 45-yard gem on the winning drive to highlight his four-catch, 108-yard day."
The 49ers beat the Seahawks 17-13, with Brock Purdy throwing touchdown passes on the opening and game-winning drives but also throwing two second-half interceptions. Purdy completed all six passes for 67 yards on the decisive drive and avoided significant pressure, taking only one sack. Christian McCaffrey had nine catches for 73 yards and carried 22 times for 69 yards, while Brian Robinson Jr. added nine carries for 33 yards. Ricky Pearsall caught four passes for 108 yards, including a 45-yard play on the winning drive. Trent Williams and Dominick Puni played through injuries. Renardo Green allowed a late 40-yard catch but Nick Bosa made a critical play to seal the victory.
