In a Monday night contest, quarterback Brock Purdy delivered a standout outing, throwing a personal-record five touchdown passes to lead his team to a commanding 48-27 triumph. The victorious effort was sealed by a key 74-yard interception return for a score.
Scoring Display Lead the Way
Purdy was remarkably sharp, completing 25 of his 34 passes for 295 yards. His key weapons included star tailback Christian McCaffrey, who gained 117 yards on 21 carries and also hauled in six passes for 29 yards and two touchdowns. Tight end George Kittle also excelled, securing seven catches for 115 yards and a score.
