The San Francisco 49ers were able to outscore the Chicago Bears, 42-38, in a Sunday night shootout. Brock Purdy rebounded from a pick-six on his first pass attempt of the game in a big way, throwing for 303 yards and three touchdowns (he also ran for two scores) to put his team in position to earn the NFC's No. 1 seed with a win next Sunday. His most memorable moment came when, in true rodeo fashion, he scrambled around for eight seconds with surprising athleticism before finding Kyle Juszczyk for a touchdown.
Niners coach Kyle Shanahan, who once again dialed up an explosive gameplan for his field general to execute, described what it was like to watch the play from the sidelines. And he revealed that sometimes coaches are just like us.
