Brock Purdy Tosses 5 TD Passes In 49ers Win

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Brock Purdy threw a career-high five touchdown passes and Dee Winters returned an interception 74 yards for a score to lead the San Francisco 49ers to a 48-27 victory at Indianapolis. Purdy was 25 of 34 for 295 yards with one interception and Christian McCaffrey had 146 total yards and two scores. The 49ers won their fifth straight game to stay in the chase for the NFC’s top seed one day after clinching a playoff spot by virtue of Detroit’s loss to Pittsburgh. But 44-year-old Philip Rivers sure didn’t make it easy on San Francisco in his second game back after a five-year layoff. He was 23 of 35 for 277 yards and two TDs before throwing the late interception that sealed it. Indy’s playoff hopes continued to fade with its fifth straight loss.
