Even when Brock Purdy did something wrong, it turned out right for the San Francisco 49ers.
The final pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of Iowa State appeared to throw an interception late in the first half Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
However, there was a flag on the play for defensive holding so the 49ers got the ball back with 22 seconds left in the half.
Time to settle for a field goal, right? Wrong.
Kyle Shanahan sent in a pass play that called for a double move by Brandon Aiyuk.
The Bucs’ secondary bit, Purdy found his receiver, and 32 yards and a PAT later it was 28-0 against Tom Brady and the Bucs.
And how about this route from @THE2ERA 👀
