49ers play follow the leader, and Brock Purdy delivers both the football and the No. 1 seed

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 23:42:13 GMT

If there was any doubt as to whether the 49ers have themselves one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks, it was erased Sunday on two plays within two minutes of each other in a 27-10 road win over the Washington Commanders.It’s first-and-10, and the 49ers have the ball at their own 44-yard line. Purdy takes a shotgun snap and delivers a strike to Brandon Aiyuk for a 38-yard gain. They used to be called dimes. The 49ers call them dots. The coverage wasn’t bad, but it didn’t matter. First down 49ers at the 22-yard line.Three plays later, it’s third-and-9 at the Washington 17. Purdy is flushed from the pocket and starts left, then breaks right to find room to throw. He’s directing traffic with his left hand, and Aiyuk breaks free in the end zone.Touchdown. The 49ers had a 17-point lead, and the only thing left was to close out the win and enjoy life as the No. 1 seed in the NFC after Arizona shocked Philadelphia 35-31.What a dime! #SFvsWAS on FOXNFL+ // h...

Kurtenbach: Clinching the No. 1 seed early is exactly what the doctor ordered for the 49ers

How much better are the 49ers than the rest of the NFC?San Francisco didn’t need a full regular season to clinch the conference’s top playoff seed.The Niners, by pairing their own 27-10 win over Washington with an improbable Arizona Cardinals win over the Eagles, clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoffs Sunday, giving them home-field advantage up to the Super Bowl and a coveted playoff bye week.Oh, and by clinching the top seed with a week of the regular season still to be played, the Niners effectively picked up another bye week in the process.That’s not a bad way to end the year.It’s also downright domination over the competition — the kind that, even with all his success, we haven’t seen in Kyle Shanahan’s tenure as the 49ers’ head coach.Sure, there was a bit of luck involved in the process.
