Purdy Throws 3 TDs in Return as 49ers Rout Cardinals 41-22

San Francisco moved to 7-4 behind a healthier offense, with three takeaways offset by a defensive lapse cited as record-setting.

Overview

  • Brock Purdy, back from a toe injury, completed 19 of 26 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns in his first game action since Week 4.
  • Christian McCaffrey rushed for 81 yards on 13 carries with two scores as the attack operated with renewed balance.
  • George Kittle caught six passes for 67 yards and two touchdowns, reaching 50 career touchdown receptions.
  • The defense generated three takeaways, including interceptions by Malik Mustapha and Deommodore Lenoir, yet was also charged with allowing an unspecified NFL record.
  • Skyy Moore’s 98-yard kickoff return to the 1-yard line set up an opening touchdown, while linebacker Tatum Bethune exited with an ankle injury and Curtis Robinson led with 12 tackles.
