"San Francisco led wire-to-wire after Skyy Moore returned the opening kickoff for 98 yards to set up a 1-yard touchdown by Christian McCaffrey on the first play from scrimmage. McCaffrey had three touchdowns on the day (two rushing, one receiving) and 81 yards rushing on 13 carries. George Kittle added two touchdowns along with his 67 yards on six catches."
"On Purdy: I think it made him feel more normal again. I mean, it's always tough for football players when you're out and you can't play, especially watching the guys just do it week in and week out. So I could feel he was more comfortable throughout the week just getting back into full routine and practice. On Jacoby Brissett: He always looks like that on tape."
"On the turnovers: Those guys with those three turnovers, and the way special teams played today, that kind of set the tone for the whole day. On the argument with Renardo Green: I know they did something to Renardo that pissed him off, which they missed, but they always get the second guy. We were pissed about that On Kittle catching his 50th career touchdown: He's a hall of fame tight end. He keeps padding those stats and still playing at an extremely high level."
