"A Brock Purdy played like "vintage Brock," said Christian McCaffrey, who then praised just how poised and efficient Purdy was in his return from a six-game absence. Purdy rediscovered his rhythm on the second series by stringing together a 25-yard, third-down conversion to Jauan Jennings, a 13-yarder to Demarcus Robinson and then a 30-yard touchdown shot to George Kittle, who later caught Purdy's third and final touchdown pass in the third quarter."
"The 49ers didn't sack Jacoby Brissett and allowed him to make NFL history with a single-game record of 47 completions (57 attempts, 452 yards, two fourth-quarter touchdowns). But offsetting that was the fact Malik Mustapha and Deommodore Lenoir each intercepted Brissett, who entered with the stingiest interception rate (1.3%) in NFL history. Upton Stout gave up a 34-yard catch on the Cardinals' first touchdown drive, but he more than atoned by forcing a fumble at the 49ers' 1-yard line in the fourth quarter."
Pass offense earned an A as Brock Purdy returned from a six-game absence playing poised and efficient football, completing touchdown connections to George Kittle and others while facing limited pressure. Run offense received a B as Christian McCaffrey produced 81 yards on 13 carries, opened scoring drives, and scored twice, while Brian Robinson managed 24 yards. Pass defense graded C after allowing Jacoby Brissett a record 47 completions and 452 yards, but generated takeaways via interceptions by Malik Mustapha and Deommodore Lenoir and a fourth-quarter forced fumble. Run defense earned an A, holding the Cardinals to 36 rushing yards.
