Purdy Drives 49ers Win
Brock Purdy Throws Four Touchdowns as Injury-Depleted 49ers Hold Off Cardinals
Anonymous
The injury-depleted San Francisco 49ers improved to 3-0 with a 36-30 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Brock Purdy threw four touchdown passes, including an 82-yard hook-and-ladder score, and George Kittle caught six passes for 82 yards and two fourth-quarter touchdowns. Christian McCaffrey also scored, while Arizona rallied behind Jacoby Brissett before San Francisco held on; Deebo Samuel recovered a late onside kick to secure the victory. The 49ers lost Mike Evans and Trent Williams to injuries during the game.
Key Points
1
Before throwing the late touchdown to Kittle, Purdy appeared to score on a 45-yard scramble, but the run was nullified; he then connected with Kittle for the touchdown instead.
2
Arizona’s comeback included two Brissett touchdown passes—one to Michael Wilson and one to Jeremiyah Love—after the 49ers lost possession on a muffed punt.
3
Kittle’s two-touchdown game may have marked his return to full health and a full workload after his Achilles tear in January; he also reached at least 80 receiving yards for the second consecutive game.
4
The Cardinals entered the game having lost 22 of their previous 26 games against division opponents.
