"Trailing 13-10 with just 1:43 to go, Purdy pulled a very wild improvisational rabbit out of his hat on a Third and Goal. It was a do-or-die play, and Purdy did, as he ran back about ten full yards from the line of scrimmage, danced around three defenders, and just plain chucked a wing and a prayer up to the end zone, where the triple-covered third-string tight end Jake Tonges somehow caught the jump ball. This would prove the game winning touchdown."

And Purdy was masterful throughout the fourth-quarter dive that started with 3:19 left to play, setting up the score on the exhilarating 45-yard sideline strike to Ricky Pearsall seen below."
San Francisco rallied from a deficit to defeat the Seattle Seahawks 17-13. Brock Purdy, in his first game on a $265 million contract, delivered a clutch fourth-quarter performance that included a 45-yard sideline strike to Ricky Pearsall and an improvisational Third-and-Goal scramble finished by a jump-ball touchdown to third-string tight end Jake Tonges. The decisive score came with 1:43 remaining after Purdy escaped pressure and lofted the ball into the end zone. Kicker Jake Moody missed an eminently makeable 27-yard field goal before halftime and struggled on multiple occasions, allowing Seattle to capitalize and force a late comeback.
