25 Nov
Summary
- Brock Purdy threw three interceptions in the first half against the Panthers.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan defended Purdy's decisions despite the turnovers.
- San Francisco's defense, led by Ji'Ayir Brown's two interceptions, secured the victory.
In a game where the San Francisco 49ers secured a 20-9 victory over the Carolina Panthers, quarterback Brock Purdy experienced a challenging first half, marked by three consecutive interceptions. Coach Kyle Shanahan publicly supported Purdy, explaining that while the throws were slightly off, the decision-making was sound. This allowed the defense to carry the team.
The defense proved pivotal in the win, with safety Ji'Ayir Brown contributing two crucial interceptions. This performance contrasted with the offense's struggles, particularly Purdy's uncharacteristic turnovers. Despite the Panthers' weak pass rush, Purdy's passes were intercepted due to slight inaccuracies, often being thrown behind receivers or not led sufficiently.
Purdy acknowledged the execution errors and the mental difficulty of overcoming consecutive turnovers. He reassured that his turf toe injury was not a factor. Teammates like George Kittle encouraged him to stay aggressive, emphasizing the need to move past mistakes and focus on the next play.
