The San Francisco 49ers are taking on the Seattle Seahawks in a Saturday night showdown at 5 p.m. PDT on Jan. 3 at Levi's Stadium. The winner of Saturday night's game will take the NFC West crown and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, earning a bye next week in the wild-card round. The 49ers will need to slow down the NFL's leading receiver, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, to keep the Seahawks from piling up the points.
Trailing 13-10 with just 1:43 to go, Purdy pulled a very wild improvisational rabbit out of his hat on a Third and Goal. It was a do-or-die play, and Purdy did, as he ran back about ten full yards from the line of scrimmage, danced around three defenders, and just plain chucked a wing and a prayer up to the end zone, where the triple-covered third-string tight end Jake Tonges somehow caught the jump ball. This would prove the game winning touchdown.
