Purdy’s big 4th quarter helps the 49ers overcome their mistakes and beat the Bucs

Associated Press  

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — The mistakes kept piling up for the San Francisco 49ers thanks to a slew of special teams blunders, key defensive penalties and missed opportunities to put the Tampa Bay Buccaneers away early. But when the 49ers needed it most on Sunday, Brock Purdy made enough big plays in the fourth quarter to deliver San Francisco a rare fourth-quarter comeback with a 23-20 victory over the Bucs. The Niners had overcome only two fourth-quarter deficits to win a game with Purdy at quarterback — a Week 17 victory over Las Vegas in 2022 and a playoff win against Green Bay last season. Purdy’s work wasn’t done there as Jake Moody missed a third field goal that could have extended the lead and the defense then committed four penalties for 39 yards on Tampa Bay’s game-tying field goal drive.
