Brock Purdy is the first 49ers’ quarterback to win his first three NFL starts, and he’s got the right team around him to do that.
SANTA CLARA – Brock Purdy didn’t look astonished when told him he’s the first quarterback in 49ers history to win his first three career starts.Well, Joe Montana began 0-3. Steve Young, 1-2. John Brodie, win-win-loss. Colin Kaepernick, win-win-loss. Jeff Garcia, win-loss-loss. Alex Smith, 0-3.
Added Bosa: “I’m super impressed with how he’s matured so quickly. It helped he started four years of college. For a rookie to come in and just have that command, everybody’s got his back, obviously.” McCloud acknowledged it worked so well because of the blocks. As he crossed the line of scrimmage, Mike McGlinchey was pancake-blocking a defender, Christian McCaffrey was steering his to the sideline, as was Kittle, and then practice-squad stud Willie Snead IV sealed the lane for McCloud to produce the 49ers’ longest run since Raheem Mostert’s 80-yard score in 2020 Week 2 – and the longest rushing touchdown ever by a 49ers wide receiver.Another win without injuries to report? Well, maybe.
The Minnesota Vikings narrowly won again – they’re 11-0 in one-score games – so they still hold the No. 2 seed, but they’d lose the tiebreaker with the 49ers for it if they have matching overall records. The Philadelphia Eagles took the first step to improbably losing the No. 1 seed by falling at Dallas, and they’ll still have to lose at home to both the New Orleans Saints and the New York Giants .
Not so funny was the sight of a figure closing in as Kittle grabbed Purdy’s 34-yard pass. “When got over my shoulder, I thought it was a safety trying to get ball out, and it actually scared me,” Kittle said. “Then he was in my ear saying, ‘You stole my touchdown.’ I was like, ‘My bad.’ Not really.”Opponents dig the deep ball. When Terry McLaurin hauled in a 51-yard catch at the 6-yard line, reserve cornerback Sam Womack and safety Tashaun Gipson Sr. were in the vicinity.
