It's the first time in Purdy’s career he's thrown multiple interceptions in a half.
Later in the second quarter, Purdy threw a third interception on a deflected pass. Safety Kyle Hamilton came away with the pick, his second of the game.

The 49ers second-year quarterback has been excellent this season, prompting him to rise up the list of potential MVP candidates. His topsy-turvy first half has put a dent in those prospects.
Purdy’s first interception came inside Baltimore’s 20-yard line, but a wild safety four plays later lessened the sting of that error.
Edwards’ touchdown made his second mistake count.
