"Down 19-17 with eight minutes remaining, Purdy would complete 5-of-6 passes on the winning drive, and aiding that push was a defensive holding penalty that nullified a Jalen Carter sack on Purdy. Purdy finished 16-of-31 for 262 yards with two touchdown passes and two interceptions."
"Next up is a rematch in Seattle against the Seahawks, who two weeks ago won 13-3 at Levi's Stadium in a matchup for the No. 1 seed and NFC West crown. The 49ers (13-5) opened this season's wild ride in Seattle with a 17-13 win. Then came an onslaught of injuries to marquee players that figured to snuff out any chance of ending up in Super Bowl XL at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8."
The 49ers rallied to defeat the Eagles 23-19 in a wild-card game at Lincoln Financial Field and advanced to the NFC divisional round. George Kittle suffered a first-half Achilles tear and was carted off after a 6-yard reception. Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes, two interceptions and finished 16-of-31 for 262 yards, delivering the game-winning touchdown to Christian McCaffrey with 2:54 remaining. McCaffrey had six catches for 66 yards and two touchdowns despite 48 rushing yards on 13 carries. A defensive holding penalty erased a Jalen Carter sack during the winning drive. The 49ers now travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks and have won five consecutive wild-card games.
