Yesterday, Levi’s Stadium was electric again as the San Francisco 49ers flexed their offensive muscles in front of their home crowd. The 49ers’ game against the Tennessee Titans lived up to the hype for those hungry for scoring and big plays.
Brock Purdy was the story on Sunday, slicing through Tennessee’s defense with a mix of precision passing and sudden scrambles. While the final score reflected a comfortable 37-24 win for San Francisco, the clash had moments of grit, frustration, and even a spark of controversy that left fans talking long after the final whistle.
If you came into this 49ers game expecting a blowout, you got a high-octane performance from Purdy and company, but also a few wrinkles that kept things interesting. Purdy was the main catalyst, finishing with 295 yards passing and 3 touchdowns, finding rhythm early and often as the 49ers scored on their first five possessions of the afternoon. His efficiency and calm presence under pressure kept San Francisco in control, and every time the Titans tried to build momentum, Purdy found an answer.
Wide Receiver Jauan Jennings made the most of his opportunities, hauling in two early scores that set the tone for the day. Ricky Pearsall was a consistent chain mover, leading all receivers with 96 yards before exiting late with a minor injury. George Kittle chipped in eight catches and a touchdown, extending his resume as one of the most reliable tight ends in the league. Running Back Christian McCaffrey added a bruising one-yard touchdown run, rounding out a day where the 49ers’ offense simply refused to relent.
For the visiting Titans, the game was a mix of flashes and frustration. Rookie Quarterback Cam Ward showed some promise, connecting on two touchdown passes, including an unexpected strike to Defensive Lineman Jeffery Simmons after a turnover. That kind of unpredictability gave Tennessee fans something to cheer about. But too often, the Titans’ offense stalled, and costly missed opportunities, like a wide-open pass dropped before halftime and a missed 50-yard field goal attempt, hampered any real chance of a comeback.
Defensively, Tennessee struggled to contain Purdy and the 49ers’ balanced attack, and the absence of key safeties early in the game did not help matters. Still, the Titans kept it competitive in spurts, leaning on Tony Pollard on the ground and making enough splash plays to keep the tension alive momentarily.
There were a few plays that ultimately swung the momentum in San Francisco’s direction:
For the 49ers, this win boosts their confidence as they begin the stretch run. They’ve now won four straight games, and their offense looks as dynamic as ever. Purdy’s command of the offense and chemistry with his pass catchers feel real and dangerous.
The Titans, meanwhile, drop to 2-12 and remain stuck in a long rebuilding stretch. There were encouraging individual efforts from Ward and a few playmakers, but inconsistencies and missed chances summed up a season that has been tough from the start.
