Overview
- Purdy completed 24 of 33 passes for 303 yards and three touchdowns and added 28 rushing yards with two scores against the Bears.
- He became the 20th quarterback in NFL history to record three passing and two rushing touchdowns in one game and the first in 49ers history to pair that combo with 300-plus passing yards.
- His first throw was intercepted and returned for a touchdown, after which he steadied the offense and led a back-and-forth finish on Sunday night.
- The performance followed his five-touchdown outing the previous week in a 48-27 win over the Colts, extending a late-season surge.
- With the win, San Francisco set up a winner-take-all Week 18 trip to the Seahawks for the division crown and the NFC’s top seed.
