Overview
- Purdy went 25-of-34 for 295 yards and five touchdowns with a 126.8 passer rating in a 48–27 road victory on Monday night.
- He became the first 49ers quarterback with five touchdown passes in a game since Steve Young in Super Bowl XXIX and the first in a regular-season game since Joe Montana in 1990.
- Pro Football Focus awarded Purdy a 96.6 offensive grade, the highest single-game mark for an NFL quarterback this season.
- Kyle Shanahan called the outing “pretty close to a perfect game,” while Purdy noted misses and a tipped interception that was quickly offset by a Dee Winters pick-six.
- A potential Jake Tonges touchdown was ruled incomplete without review as Shanahan considered but did not challenge, and the 49ers scored on the next play before turning focus to hosting Chicago.
