In addition to four interceptions, he finished 18-of-32 for 255 yards as the Grinch stole their win.
“The first (interception) was a big mistake, and the other three were pretty unfortunate,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said.
This meeting was billed as a showdown between the NFL’s two leading MVP candidates – Purdy and Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson, the latter of whom threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 46 yards.
The 49ers (11-4) remain in position for the NFC’s No. 1 playoff seed, and they still can lock that up by winning their final two regular-season games – Sunday at the Commanders (4-11), and Week 18 against the Los Angeles Rams (8-7). The 49ers currently own the tiebreaker advantage over the NFC’s other two teams with 11-4 records, the Detroit Lions and the Philadelphia Eagles.
“It’s easy to be riding high and thinking you’re the man, when things are going well, you’re winning games, and you don’t see a whole lot of adversity in some games. This is the reality of the NFL,” Purdy said.
