"With his brain, his arm, and his legs all operating at full throttle, Purdy turned in a downright brilliant quarterbacking performance Sunday. Purdy was pushing the ball to all corners of the field, picking up first downs and more with his scrambling ability, and keeping the Niners in the right looks against a Tennessee defense that has an elite defensive tackle, a couple of other nice pieces, and little else."
"The only Niners receiver with a receiving touchdown this season, Jennings now has seven. His first-quarter snag was a matter of will and length against solid coverage from Tennessee nickelback Kevin Winson, Jennings boxed him out on a whip route and snagged the ball with strength and certitude. Purdy spent most of last season force-feeding Jennings the ball it was about the only thing that worked for the Niners last year."
The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Tennessee Titans 37-24, a result that likely extends the team into the playoffs. Brock Purdy delivered his best performance of the season, combining passing and scrambling to repeatedly pick up first downs and keep the offense balanced against a limited Tennessee defense. Jauan Jennings caught a receiving touchdown to reach seven for the season, showing physicality and reliable hands. Ricky Pearsall gained 96 yards on six catches despite an ankle issue that he appeared to re-aggravate late in the game. The win underscores momentum and lingering injury concerns heading into the final regular-season games and postseason.
