- Purdy completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 yards and a career-high five touchdowns with a 126.8 rating in the 49ers’ 48–27 win over the Colts.
- Pro Football Focus gave Purdy a 96.6 offensive grade, reported as the highest single-game QB mark this season, with strong grades also for George Kittle and Trent Williams.
- San Francisco and Chicago are both 11-4 with playoff spots secured, setting up a Sunday night game with NFC seeding implications.
- Kyle Shanahan called Purdy’s outing “pretty close to a perfect game,” while Purdy noted missed opportunities and said he does not override Shanahan’s play calls.
- With Purdy healthy, the 49ers also benefit from depth as Mac Jones’ 5-3 stretch as a starter has created perceived trade value and insurance, according to recent reporting.
