In the third quarter, the San Francisco 49er were backed up all the way to their own two yard line. However, that was no problem for Brock Purdy and Brandon Aiyuk.
After Purdy found George Kittle to create some breathing room, the young passer extended the 49ers lead with a deep strike to Aiyuk down the sideline against the Bucs.
Purdy heaved a laser down the sideline for a 76-yard dime to Aiyuk to give the 49ers a 20-7 lead in the second half. Purdy 76-yard pass to Aiyuk was the longest touchdown pass in the entire NFL this season.
