The 49ers take a three-game losing streak into their bye after falling 31-17 at home to the Bengals.
San Francisco 49ers starting quarterback Brock Purdy is tackled at the end of a scramble against xx in the second quarter at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., on Sunday, Oct. 29, 2023. SANTA CLARA – A swift three-game losing streak escorts the 49ers into their bye week, with plenty of issues to resolve after Sunday’s 31-17 home defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals.
But the 49ers’ defense also was far too generous, from yielding 19 consecutive completions to Joe Burrow before halftime, to multiple missed tackles, to allowing a fourth and final Bengals touchdown with 2:54 remaining. Those alumni can attest none of the 49ers’ five Super Bowl-winning seasons included a three-game losing streak.
Burrow and the Bengals answered with their own touchdown drive. Joe Mixon dashed 5 yards for their final score with 2:54 to go, after bouncing around right defensive end Nick Bosa, who played seemingly every snap up to that point.The game’s biggest turning point came late in the third quarter. Disaster struck when Purdy was intercepted at the Bengals’ 10-yard line.
