"A Brock Purdy commanded 70-yard touchdown drives on the first two possessions, threw three touchdowns overall and pumped out 295 yards, including a game-long 38-yard rocket to a crossing Ricky Pearsall to set up a third-quarter scoring drive. Amid ankle and knee injuries, Pearsall broke out with six catches for 96 yards, after just five catches for 20 yards over his previous three games combined."
"B A 38-carry barrage is always desired, but this one certainly wasn't dominant (138 yards; 3.6 yards per carry). Christian McCaffrey overcame a midweek illness and Saturday morning's tight back to score his ninth rushing touchdown in as many games, though he averaged just 3.3 yards per carry (22 attempts, 73 yards) with none reaching 10 yards. Purdy had the day's (season's?) best run with a career-long 26-yard scramble to ignite a 95-yard touchdown drive."
Brock Purdy threw three touchdowns and 295 yards, leading two 70-yard touchdown drives and a 38-yard pass to Ricky Pearsall.

The pass defense produced no interceptions and few sacks, earning a D+. Run defense managed one tackle for loss and a C- grade.
