SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Brock Purdy rolled to his left and saw his first few options covered. At the last second, George Kittle broke free running deep, Purdy threw across his body and Kittle made a juggling catch that sparked San Francisco’s only touchdown drive. It’s playoff football, it’s never easy, but we’re moving on.” The 49ers used back-to-back long scoring drives in the second half to wear down the Cowboys and win their 12th straight game. “We just weren’t able to get anything going.” Purdy, the last pick in the draft last April, improved to 7-0 as a starter since replacing an injured Jimmy Garoppolo early in Week 13. “That’s a really good team.” JUST FOR KICKS The Cowboys’ decision to stick with Maher after his four missed extra points last week looked questionable when he missed the early extra point.
