It was a game that we didn't know Brock Purdy could have. It was a defensive performance we were unsure was coming given the turnover on that side of the ball. The result: a wild 49ers win capped by an unlikely touchdown to Jake Tonges, of all people. Chris Biderman broke it down on our live reaction show. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Kyle and Chris start out of the pod with the breaking news about Christian McCaffrey's calf injury that landed him on the injury report.
