Purdy leads 49ers to late rally and 32-29 win over Seahawks

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 01:18 · Archive

Brock Purdy engineered two fourth-quarter scoring drives as the San Francisco 49ers rallied to beat the Seattle Seahawks 32-29 on a 43-yard field goal by Eddy Pineiro with 1:56 to play. The game featured seven combined turnovers, an NFL season-high for a single game, and no touchdown drives of more than 25 yards until late in the third quarter.

Trailing 26-21 late in the third quarter, Purdy led an impressive drive against Seattle's defence. He completed a 28-yard pass to Mike Evans after an intentional grounding penalty left the 49ers facing second-and-21. Purdy then threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to newcomer Brandin Cooks, and San Francisco converted a 2-point conversion to Evans to take a 29-26 lead.

Sam Darnold responded by leading Seattle on a game-tying field goal drive. Purdy and the 49ers then moved the ball 43 yards for Pineiro's go-ahead kick. The win marked the 49ers' fifth straight victory to open the season, their third time achieving that record in the last eight seasons.
