The 49ers won their 11th consecutive game, overcoming a halftime deficit and outscoring the visitors 25-6 in the second half
Brock Purdy threw for three touchdowns and ran for another in his first playoff start as the host San Francisco 49ers advanced with a 41-23 victory against the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday afternoon in Santa Clara, Calif.
Purdy, a rookie who was the last overall pick in this year’s NFL draft, completed 18 of 30 passes for 332 yards. Christian McCaffrey rushed 15 times for 119 yards and made a touchdown reception, and Deebo Samuel had six catches for 133 yards and a TD. Trailing 17-16, the 49ers took the second-half kickoff and went 75 yards in 13 plays, with Purdy scoring on a 1-yard plunge.
The 49ers drove down the field and Purdy escaped the rush before throwing a 7-yard TD pass to running back Elijah Mitchell. A two-point conversion pass to George Kittle gave San Francisco a 31-17 lead with 14:02 remaining.
