"For San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, this wasn't the first Monday Night Football game in which he had three passes intercepted by halftime. That happened before in a 2023 Christmas loss to Baltimore, which intercepted him four times. The San Francisco 49ers overcame that Thanksgiving Week generosity and toppled the Carolina Panthers 20-9, thanks largely to defensive heroics that included two interceptions by safety Ji'Ayir Brown."
"Running back Christian McCaffrey finished with 89 rushing yards (24 carries) and 53 receiving yards (seven catches). George Kittle had a team-high 78 receiving yards. The playoff-stalking 49ers (8-4) have won two consecutive games for the first time since their 3-0 start to this topsy-turvy, injury-laden season. Next comes their penultimate road game, a Sunday visit to Cleveland against the Browns (3-8) and rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who'll make his first home start after winning Sunday 24-10 in Las Vegas against the Raiders."

Christian McCaffrey rushed 89 yards on 24 carries and caught seven passes for 53 yards. George Kittle led the team with 78 receiving yards.
