Brock Purdy completed 18-of-31 passes for 262 yards, two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions in the 49ers’ 23-19, Wild Card win over the Eagles.

12 January 2026

Battling the wind and an elite defense, Purdy had his first multi-pick start since before Thanksgiving, but the 49ers still managed to spring the upset thanks to surprisingly feisty defense and some well-timed big plays on offense. That included a third passing score via former college quarterback recruit Jauan Jennings on a fourth quarter trick play. Both of Purdy’s giveaways were bad decisions in the vicinity of DB Quinyon Mitchell, but he rode hot connections with Christian McCaffrey and DeMarcus Robinson to keep the Niners in the game. Another massive test now awaits for the Divisional Round, as the Niners must venture back to Seattle for Part 3 of their Seahawks trilogy, this time without George Kittle (Achilles). It can be done, but will take a much better performance than Purdy delivered in Philly.
