Brock Purdy Overcomes Shaky 1H to Rally Niners
Brock Purdy completed 20-of-31 passes for 267 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the 49ers’ 34-31, Conference Championship win over the Lions, adding 51 yards on four carries.
This one was a tale of two halves for the 49ers, who went into the break down 24-7 after the Lions dominated time of possession in the first frame. Purdy would then lead an offensive eruption in the second half kickstarted by a circus reception by Brandon Aiyuk that deflected off a defender’s helmet. Twenty-seven second half points later and the 49ers head to another Super Bowl to face a familiar opponent in the Chiefs.
Purdy leaned on the combination of Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, feeding the duo 17 targets on his 31 pass attempts on the evening. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers will face another stiff test in the ultimate game of the 2023 season as Kansas City defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo’s defense has turned heads this year.
