Overview
- Brock Purdy went 23-of-30 for 295 yards and three touchdowns with 44 rushing yards in a 37-24 win over Tennessee.
- His 140.3 passer rating marked his seventh 140-plus outing, tying Kurt Warner for the most such games in a quarterback’s first four NFL seasons.
- A career-long 26-yard scramble with a pump fake and faux pitch jump-started a 95-yard touchdown drive, and Purdy later called the flourish “dumb” and apologized to Cody Barton.
- Jeffrey Simmons produced the 49ers’ lone turnover with a strip sack, underscoring the balance between improvisation and ball security.
- San Francisco extended its winning streak to four to reach 10-4 and remain in the NFC West race as teammates and Kyle Shanahan praised Purdy’s leadership and playmaking.
