Purdy Shines with 368 Passing Yards, Leading 49ers to Victory over Seahawks 28-16

In the recent NFL showdown, the San Francisco 49ers demonstrated their offensive prowess, led by quarterback Brock Purdy’s exceptional performance. Purdy, showcasing his ability to efficiently distribute the ball, has elevated the 49ers into a formidable team.

The 49ers’ victory was highlighted by Deebo Samuel’s two touchdowns, a notable long TD reception by George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey’s impressive 145 rushing yards, culminating in a decisive 28-16 win against the Seattle Seahawks. This triumph marks their 11th consecutive divisional victory.

Purdy, reflecting on the team’s success, praised the collective talent, emphasizing the impact of each player’s contribution. Brandon Aiyuk’s 126 receiving yards further bolstered the team’s 505 total scrimmage yards, nudging the 49ers closer to their first back-to-back NFC West titles since 2011-12.

The 49ers’ lead over the Seahawks and Rams is now four games, with a significant tiebreaker advantage over Seattle. Coach Kyle Shanahan commended the team’s explosive playmaking abilities, acknowledging their multidimensional offensive threat.

Seattle, under Pete Carroll’s 14-season tenure, faces a challenging period, having lost five consecutive games to the 49ers. Linebacker Bobby Wagner stressed the need for better execution against such high-caliber opponents.

Drew Lock, substituting for the injured Geno Smith, threw two touchdown passes in his first start since 2021. Despite his efforts, Seattle struggled to match the 49ers’ offensive intensity.

San Francisco’s scoring momentum was set by McCaffrey’s 72-yard run, leading to Jordan Mason’s TD. Purdy, overcoming an early interception, connected with Samuel for a 54-yard TD and delivered a crucial 44-yard TD pass to Kittle, extending the lead to 28-16. Samuel also contributed a rushing touchdown.

Purdy completed 19 of 27 passes, achieving a career-best 368 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. His performance makes him the fourth player to maintain a 70% pass completion rate over seven consecutive games, nearing Joe Montana’s 1989 record.

Lock, filling in for Smith, began strongly with a 31-yard touchdown pass to DK Metcalf. He later connected with Colby Parkinson for a 25-yard touchdown, narrowing the score gap to 21-16. Despite Lock’s 269 passing yards and two touchdowns, Seattle couldn’t surmount the deficit.

The game’s intensity escalated in the fourth quarter, leading to a scuffle initiated by Fred Warner’s interception. The altercation involved Warner, Metcalf, and Deommodore Lenoir, resulting in ejections.

Injury updates included Seattle’s Devon Witherspoon and Artie Burns, and the 49ers’ Charvarius Ward, Oren Burks, and Javon Hargrave. The Seahawks next face Philadelphia on December 18, while the 49ers will meet Arizona.
