SANTA CLARA, Calif.—Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score in his first career start and San Francisco’s vaunted defense spoiled Tom Brady’s Bay Area homecoming with a 35–7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 11.
Purdy outplaying the NFL’s most accomplished quarterback ever was partially overshadowed by another key injury for the 49ers (9–4).
