"Purdy was up to the challenge. Behind Purdy's five total touchdowns (two rushing, three passing), the Niners outlasted the Chicago Bears 42-38 in a wild shootout on Sunday Night Football. It's San Francisco's first time scoring 40-plus points in back-to-back games since November 1995. With the win, the 49ers improved to 12-4 and will host the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday night with a whole lot on the line: the NFC West division title, the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs."
""It's his best [football] right now," right tackle Colton McKivitz said. "And it's when his best is needed. This is what this team needs is this offense to come in and score and score a lot ... The way he's playing, it's awesome. To have a leader like that go and command the huddle and playing at that level, it's a great confidence builder for us.""

The 49ers scored 40-plus points in consecutive games for the first time since November 1995 and improved to 12-4. The victory set up a pivotal game against the Seattle Seahawks with the NFC West title, the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs on the line.
