"SANTA CLARA Safety Ji'Ayir Brown read Bryce Young's young eyes and intercepted two passes in Monday night's 49ers victory. Then Brown read the room, that being Levi's Stadium's auditorium during his post-win press conference. Standing at the podium after that 20-9 defense-led victory over Carolina, Brown didn't strut, even though he just played the best game of his three-year Niners career in coach Kyle Shanahan's eyes."
"Brown's two interceptions helped bail out Brock Purdy, who got intercepted on three consecutive drives before halftime. Yet rather than bask in any heroic glory, Brown used the spotlight to preach team unity. So did others. There ain't no bailouts, Brown said. We see turnovers happen. It's all part of the game. If it was perfect, people wouldn't watch it as much. Just having the offense's back (this game) like they had ours the previous weeks, it's complementary football."
Ji'Ayir Brown intercepted two passes and delivered a standout defensive performance in the 49ers' 20-9 victory over the Carolina Panthers at Levi's Stadium. Brown maintained humility after the game and emphasized team unity rather than individual glory. Brock Purdy threw interceptions on three consecutive drives before halftime, and the defense's takeaways prevented the Panthers from scoring more than three points on those possessions. Teammates praised locker-room cohesion and mutual support. The win followed a high-scoring outing against Arizona the previous week, underscoring complementary offensive and defensive contributions to team success.
