In a Monday night contest, signal-caller Brock Purdy delivered a standout outing, tossing a career-best five touchdown passes to propel his team to a decisive forty-eight to twenty-seven triumph. The victorious effort was sealed by a key 74-yard pick-six for a score.
Scoring Fireworks Lead the Way
Purdy was remarkably sharp, connecting on 25 of his 34 passes for 295 yards. His primary weapons included star tailback Christian McCaffrey, who rushed for 117 yards on 21 carries and also caught six passes for 29 yards and two touchdowns. Receiver George Kittle also excelled, securing seven receptions for 115 yards and a score.
