49ers' Brock Purdy: Tosses two TDs to improve to 5-0
Brock Purdy completed 19 of 29 passes for 189 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 32-29 win over the Seahawks. He also rushed five times for six yards and threw a successful two-point conversion.Seattle's talented defense made life tougher for Purdy than it had been up to this point, as he committed his first turnover since Week 1 and took his first three sacks of the season. Purdy nonetheless did enough to keep the San Francisco 49ers undefeated. He threw a two-yard touchdown pass to Mike Evans in the first quarter and a seven-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks in the fourth, the latter of which Purdy followed up with a two-point conversion to Evans. The Seahawks responded with a field goal to tie the game at 29-29, but Purdy led the 49ers into position for Eddy Pineiro's go-ahead 44-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining. San Francisco's defense delivered the game-winning stop as Purdy and the 49ers improved to 5-0 heading into a Week 6 MNF home game against the Commanders.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Pair of TDs in Week 4 win
Brock Purdy completed 19 of 30 passes for 218 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions while adding 10 carries for 29 yards in the San Francisco 49ers' 24-14 win over the Broncos on Sunday.Purdy performed admirably against a tough Broncos defense, and his legs helped him to yet another a sack-free afternoon despite the challenge posted by Denver's aggressive unit. Purdy didn't fire his first touchdown pass of the day until the 4:15 mark of the third quarter, hitting Deebo Samuel from one yard out to snap a 3-3 tie. The veteran signal-caller then sealed San Francisco's victory with a 56-yard scoring strike to George Kittle just before the two-minute warning, and Purdy remained free of interceptions for the third straight game. Purdy has a league-leading 11 touchdown passes and has yet to be brought down through four games, but he'll have a stiff challenge on his hands in a Week 5 road matchup against the Seahawks next Sunday.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Maximizes completions in Week 3 win
Brock Purdy completed 15 of 27 passes for 297 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions and rushed twice for 34 yards in the San Francisco 49ers' 36-30 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.Purdy's completion percentage was below his usual standards, but the fifth-year signal-caller more than made up for it with some effective downfield passing and his quartet of scoring tosses. Purdy's yardage total also got a boost from an 80-yard hook-and-lateral play in the first quarter between Mike Evans and Deebo Samuel that the latter took all the way to the house from San Francisco's 20-yard line, which also served as the quarterback's first touchdown pass of the day. Purdy would go on to connect with Evans (23 yards) and George Kittle (10, 20 yards) for his other three scoring tosses, and he now boasts a 9:1 TD:INT and 789 passing yards over his first three games heading into a tough Week 4 home showdown against the Broncos next Sunday.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Three-TD effort to open season
Brock Purdy completed 25 of 34 passes for 205 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding five rushes for 29 yards during the San Francisco 49ers' 27-7 Week 1 win over the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.After an offseason in which the Rams' fearsome pass rush garnered plenty of headlines, Purdy navigated the season-opening matchup against his talented NFC West rival in nearly flawless fashion. The fifth-year signal-caller got off to a fast start with new No. 1 receiver Mike Evans, connecting with him on three occasions for 22 yards during a 15-play opening drive that culminated in a field goal. Purdy went on to hit Evans for a contested two-yard scoring strike early in the third quarter, and he sandwiched impressive touchdown tosses to Demarcus Robinson and Deebo Samuel of 39 and 15 yards, respectively, around that play. Purdy's early second-quarter interception on a pass intended for George Kittle did lead to the Rams' only touchdown, but as the final numbers indicate, the veteran quarterback did more than enough to atone. Purdy should have a strong chance of carrying over the season-opening momentum into Week 2, as a home date with what's expected to be a vulnerable Dolphins defense awaits on Sunday, Sept. 20.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Looks sharp in preseason win
Brock Purdy completed four of six passes for 29 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions and rushed once for three yards in the San Francisco 49ers' 41-17 preseason win over the Chargers on Thursday night.Purdy was in on San Francisco's first possession and led the 49ers on a 12-play, 39-yard march where he recorded his first completion to Deebo Samuel before connecting on three occasions with rookie second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling later in the drive. Purdy gave way to Mac Jones after that point, and given the former's checkered recent injury history, Thursday's game action is likely the last he'll see prior to a Week 1 showdown with the Rams in Melbourne, Australia.

49ers' Brock Purdy: Building chemistry with rookie WR
Brock Purdy and rookie wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling have been starting to connect more frequently at training camp, Marc Adams of San Francisco 49ers Webzone reports.Purdy will be operating without Ricky Pearsall (knee) for the entirety of the 2026 campaign, and veterans Mike Evans (quadriceps) and Christian Kirk (calf) have been sidelined at practice recently. As a result, the fifth-year QB has gotten to log some added reps with rookie second-rounder De'Zhaun Stribling, most notably connecting on a 50-yard touchdown up the right sideline Monday. Purdy also connected with Deebo Samuel for an explosive play Monday, as the two players look to rebuild their previous chemistry from three seasons together from 2022 to 2024 before Samuel took a one-year detour to Washington in 2025 and then returned to the 49ers as a free agent July 30.
