Brock Purdy and 49ers beat Seahawks in NFC wild-card round for 11th straight win
LA TimesSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy passes during a 41-23 NFC wild-card playoff win over the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes and ran for a fourth score in his playoff debut, leading the San Francisco 49ers to a 41-23 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in a wild-card game Saturday. “So I’m not surprised.” Purdy threw for 332 yards — the second most for a rookie in the playoffs to Russell Wilson’s 385 in a loss to Atlanta 10 years ago — and he became the first rookie quarterback to account for four touchdowns in a playoff game. So for me, man, I just got to be better and I take this one personally.” The 49ers raced to a 10-0 lead after two possessions, getting a field goal on the opening drive and then a three-yard pass from Purdy to McCaffrey after McCaffrey’s 68-yard run on the second possession.
