"'It's not the end-all be-all, but it's definitely important,' Williams said of the No. 1 spot. 'We have two playoff teams coming up. I'm just more excited to see how we match up. Can we continue to play the football we're proud of, the football we played tonight? There's a great chance we could see one of those two teams in the playoffs.'"
"Coach Kyle Shanahan praised Purdy for "pretty close to a perfect game," with the five touchdown passes, seven scoring drives, 295 passing yards, and back-to-back runs to keep alive the go-ahead series."
"'It's awesome to see us in that groove, him trusting us, and Kyle giving him the OK to throw it every ball he wants,' wide receiver Demarcus Robinson said. 'He made a heck of a day out of it, for sure.'"
Brock Purdy completed a career-best performance with five touchdown passes, 295 yards, seven scoring drives and key runs to lead the 49ers to a 48-27 victory over the Colts. Four different receivers caught touchdowns. Coach Kyle Shanahan characterized Purdy's outing as nearly perfect. Veteran tackle Trent Williams celebrated the win and emphasized Super Bowl ambitions while focusing on the immediate goal of securing the NFC's No. 1 seed. The 49ers can clinch the top seed by beating the Chicago Bears and the Seattle Seahawks in the regular-season finale. Teammates praised the offense's cohesion and execution.
