For the 49ers, the storm never came … until it did. GregBishopSI on the four quarters that proved—rookie quarterback, disappointing recent history, and all—this team is equipped to end a Super Bowl drought
Kittle and, even if all that happens, still score on DeMeco Ryans’s defense. It didn’t seem possible. At least until it did.
Gormely found Purdy to be “super confident, super fun, loving, super laid-back, super friendly.” Purdy possessed an odd combination of traits this way. His strength was a combination of self-awareness, self-deprecation and self-confidence. He could partake in Mr. Irrelevant eventsWhat made Purdy an unusual prospect—no cannon of an arm, acutely aware of his own limitations, creative, smart, always prepared—made him perfect for Shanahan. He replaced the injured Garoppolo and played.
Purdy was late—very late—on an open touchdown throw for Jauan Jennings, a four-point mistake. The 49ers continued to move the ball in the second quarter, but all those yards netted more field goals than touchdowns. Meanwhile, the Seahawks did their own storming, right back into the game, where they took leads of 14–13 and 17–16. The latter resulted from defensive back Jimmie Ward’s barreling into Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith with one second left before halftime.
Still, Smith proved that his remarkably resurgent season in Seattle was no fluke. He drove the Seahawks right back down the field, right until the 49ers’ defensive line collapsed his pocket, swarming as several defenders closed in, and Charles Omenihu knocked the ball loose and Bosa pounced on it like a forever-dangerous large cat.
The defense even responded to a challenge from Shanahan before the Washington game in Week 16. The unit had responded by forcing two turnovers on downs, while Bosa set a new personal career high in sacks . Greenlaw morphed into Big Play Dre. Warner stated a strong case for himself as the league’s best linebacker. The defense overall didn’t present a single obvious weakness while transforming that turnover weakness into its greatest strength.
