Overview
- Brock Purdy went 23-of-30 for 295 yards and three touchdowns, adding 44 rushing yards including a career-long 26-yard scramble that he later called “dumb” and apologized to Cody Barton for.
- San Francisco piled up 430 total yards and converted nine third downs, sparked by a 95-yard touchdown march after Purdy’s long run, and their punter was not used.
- The 49ers’ lone turnover was a Purdy fumble on a Jeffrey Simmons strip-sack, a rare blemish on an otherwise efficient outing.
- Run defense stayed leaky as Tennessee gained 136 yards on 20 carries; over the past three games the 49ers have yielded 343 rushing yards on 64 attempts (5.4 per carry).
- Ricky Pearsall caught six passes for 96 yards before leaving after an ankle issue on the first play and a later knee tweak, and San Francisco faces the Colts, Bears and Seahawks over the final three weeks.
