In a crucial Week 15 matchup, the San Francisco 49ers topped the New England Patriots 31-19, solidifying their playoff positioning as the season winds down. With both teams vying for postseason berths, the stakes were high, making this victory a significant statement for the 49ers. Brock Purdy was the star of the show, delivering an outstanding performance with 430 passing yards and four touchdown passes, showcasing his ability to lead the offense effectively. Omari Evans emerged as his top target, racking up an impressive 183 receiving yards, proving to be a consistent threat throughout the contest. Ashton Jeanty put forth a strong effort for the Patriots, rushing for 102 yards, but it wasn't enough to keep pace with the 49ers' aerial assault. Defensively, the Patriots struggled to contain San Francisco's high-octane offense, allowing Purdy to find his rhythm early. The turning point came in the second quarter when Purdy connected with Evans for a touchdown that extended the lead to two scores. Although the Patriots' Christian Gonzalez recorded five tackles and Jermod McCoy added a sack, San Francisco's offensive firepower ultimately overwhelmed New England, sealing the game with timely defensive stops.
