"PASS OFFENSE: D+ Interceptions on three consecutive drives? Yikes! Did Brock Purdy's Week 1 toe injury impact his mechanics? Both he and coach Kyle Shanahan disputed that, saying Purdy's timing was off, his passes were late or floated. Purdy's longest completion came after that interception spree, and it was a 25-yard strike to Kittle, who finished with a team-high 78 yards. Christian McCaffrey caught all seven of his targets (53 yards) to take the NFL lead with 81 overall receptions."
"RUN OFFENSE: B Christian McCaffrey hammered his original NFL employer for 89 yards on 24 carries, and he essentially sealed the win with a 12-yard touchdown run, his seventh in seven games. But McCaffrey also had a fumble that Colton McKivitz recovered and there was another potential fumble that officials negated. Brian Robinson averaged 5.7 yards per carry (2 yards more than McCaffrey) and totaled 40 yards."
San Francisco earned a 20-9 victory while receiving a D+ for pass offense, a B for both run and run defense, and an A- for pass defense. Brock Purdy threw three interceptions on consecutive drives, experienced late or floated passes, and had his longest completion — a 25-yard strike to Kittle, who totaled 78 yards. Christian McCaffrey rushed 24 times for 89 yards, scored a 12-yard touchdown, caught seven targets for 53 yards to lead the league with 81 receptions, and lost a fumble recovered by Colton McKivitz. Ji'Ayir Brown recorded two interceptions; Clelin Ferrell had the lone sack.
