"A Brock Purdy played like vintage Brock, said Christian McCaffrey, who then praised just how poised and efficient Purdy was in his return from a six-game absence. Purdy rediscovered his rhythm on the second series by stringing together a 25-yard, third-down conversion to Jauan Jennings, a 13-yarder to Demarcus Robinson and then a 30-yard touchdown shot to George Kittle, who later caught Purdy's third and final touchdown pass in the third quarter."
"The 49ers didn't sack Jacoby Brissett and allowed him to make NFL history with a single-game record of 47 completions (57 attempts, 452 yards, two fourth-quarter touchdowns). But offsetting that was the fact Malik Mustapha and Deommodore Lenoir each intercepted Brissett, who entered with the stingiest interception rate (1.3%) in NFL history. Upton Stout gave up a 34-yard catch on the Cardinals' first touchdown drive, but he more than atoned by forcing a fumble at the 49ers' 1-yard line in the fourth quarter."
Brock Purdy returned from a six-game absence and immediately regained rhythm, completing multiple big plays including a 30-yard touchdown to George Kittle and finishing with three touchdown passes. Christian McCaffrey contributed as a runner and receiver, totaling 81 rushing yards on 13 carries, a 4-yard rushing touchdown, and a key 15-yard leaping, third-down catch on the final touchdown drive. The offensive line limited pressures and allowed only one sack. The pass defense allowed Jacoby Brissett to complete a record 47 passes for 452 yards but produced interceptions by Malik Mustapha and Deommodore Lenoir. The run defense held Arizona to 36 yards.
