The 49ers had a little help from the Lions in their big win over the Cowboys on Sunday night.
San Francisco ran circles around Dallas in a 42–10 victory, as George Kittle caught three touchdown passes from Brock Purdy to lead the Niners to their fifth victory. Kittle and Purdy’s second connection was the most highlight-worthy of the three, with coach Kyle Shanahan dialing up a nifty trick play that left the Dallas defense completely flummoxed.
Purdy tossed the ball to running back Christian McCaffrey, who ran right and pitched it to Deebo Samuel as the receiver circled into the backfield. Samuel then pitched it back to Purdy, who was easily able to connect with a wide-open Kittle. The tight end was able to out-race cornerback Jourdan Lewis and reach the end zone.
