When 49ers tight end George Kittle tore his Achilles during Sunday’s playoff win over the Eagles, he became the latest San Francisco star player to suffer a major injury — and brought a viral conspiracy theory back into the spotlight.
Purdy found Jauan Jennings for a 38-yard touchdown reception with 2:15 to spare for the 49ers’ much-needed yet seemingly ludicrous seventh touchdown of the night. He threw three touchdown passes and 303 yards, and also ran for two scores to help offset his opening-throw pick-six en route to a sixth straight win.
