In a Monday night contest, signal-caller Brock Purdy turned in a historic outing, throwing a career-best five touchdown passes to propel his team to a commanding 48-27 victory. The victorious effort was capped off by a crucial 74-yard pick-six for a score.
Scoring Display Lead the Way
Purdy was exceptionally efficient, connecting on 25 of his 34 passes for 295 yards. His key weapons included standout running back Christian McCaffrey, who rushed for 117 yards on 21 carries and also hauled in six passes for 29 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end George Kittle also had a big night, securing seven receptions for 115 yards and a score.
Postseason Picture Taking Shape

The visiting veteran passer, in his second start after a long hiatus, posted a strong effort, throwing for 277 yards and two touchdowns. However, a fourth-quarter interception returned for a score ultimately decided the game.
