Brock Purdy completed 17-of-25 attempts for 232 yards and two touchdowns in the 49ers’ Week 9 win against the Raiders, adding seven rushes for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Purdy made quick work of a Raiders defense that has ranked as one of the NFL’s worst over the past month. The Niners tormented the Vegas defense with well-timed screens and quick hits to the middle of the field. Purdy used his legs in a couple high leverage situations in the first half and scored his second rushing touchdown of the season. He connected with Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Watkins for his throwing scores. The ultra-efficient Purdy will take on the generationally bad Dallas defense in Week 10.
