Watch a catch from the rookie first-round pick, who already has a TD reception tonight.
Are we in for an offensive shootout tonight? Both the Lions and 49ers scored TDs on their opening drives.
Detroit went 65 yards down the field on nine plays, and Jameson Williams ran in a 3-yard TD off a reverse. The Jake Bates extra point is blocked, so the 49ers hold a 7-6 lead.
Jahmyr Gibbs and Craig Reynolds both had plays of 26+ yards on that first possession for the Lions. 49ers defense was on their heels.
That’s how you start a game. Brock Purdy’s offense goes 61 yards down the field on 11 plays, and Ricky Pearsall catches his second NFL TD.
Deebo Samuel rushed three times for 16 yards, and George Kittle caught an 18-yard pass. Purdy went a perfect 3 of 3 for 34 yards including the 3-yard TD.
Jauan Jennings and Kerby Joseph are given offsetting unnecessary roughness penalties in the back of the end zone.
The 49ers are rolling on this opening possession. They’ve picked up 47 yards on their first five plays, and are down to the Lions’ 14-yard line.
The 49ers get the ball first, and we are underway
A pretty interesting stat here: The 49ers are already 0-2 in playoff rematches this season
- Week 7: lost 28-18 vs KC
- Week 12: lost 38-10 at GB
Brock Purdy is 10-10 in his career when Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel or Trent Williams do not play. That’s been the biggest difference this season.
