George Kittle is back in the flow of the 49ers’ offense with Brock Purdy at the helm.
It was a win Purdy helped finish off with grit, guile, and third-down savviness on two further series. He can play with such remarkable poise in large part because of his supporting cast, which believes in him more than ever, from veteran leaders to fellow rookies to a head coach who says: “He’s definitely the most poised rookie I’ve ever had.”“I’d like to say I’m shocked but I’m not,” linebacker Fred Warner said. “I really haven’t had to say anything to him.
The 49ers had no turnovers in 61 offensive snaps, with no interception for the sixth time in their seven-game win streak. Some luck is required, however, and that came when Seahawks safety Quandre Diggs dropped a potential interception at midfield in the second quarter. Then again, Greenlaw nearly had an interception on the opening series; would he have had Geno Smith autograph that ball like Tom Brady did on Sunday?This was only the 49ers’ sixth win here on Seattle’s seashore .
“It’s the combination of speed and power from Nick Bosa,” Kirk Herbstreit said on Amazon Prime’s broadcast. “It’s never-ending. It’s as good as it is.” Herbstreit relayed that Bosa told him in pregame that he’s in the best shape of his life, and that his diet includes no carbohydrates, and his Italian roots make it tough to avoid pasta.7.
