"PASS OFFENSE: D Tips and overthrows led to so many woes in Brock Purdy's return from a two-game hiatus. Purdy passed for 309 total yards and two touchdowns, but all anyone will remember are his two interceptions and late-game fumble. Protection broke down as Purdy fumbled at midfield (on Arik Armstead's strip sack) inside the final three minutes to seal the 49ers' first loss."
"RUN OFFENSE: D No fumbles here, but nowhere to run, either. McCaffrey gained 49 yards on 17 carries, the longest of which went for 11 yards. He and coach Kyle Shanahan insist a breakout run/game is coming. Four games in, everyone is waiting for it. Meanwhile, Brian Robinson got five carries and turned that into 21 yards. Purdy scrambled for an 11-yard gain and otherwise wasn't as mobile as usual, which was expected after his Week 1 toe injury."
Brock Purdy returned and passed for 309 yards and two touchdowns but committed two interceptions and a late fumble after a strip sack at midfield. Wide receiver drops and a tipped pass compounded mistakes, and the receiving corps was further weakened when Ricky Pearsall left with a knee injury. Christian McCaffrey rushed 17 times for 49 yards with no explosive runs, while Brian Robinson added 21 yards on five carries. Trevor Lawrence completed 21-of-31 passes for 174 yards with no sacks and a touchdown to Hunter Long. Fred Warner missed two interception opportunities and run defense yielded 124 rushing yards to Travis Etienne Jr.
