Summary

How did 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s first NFL start go? Purdy…purdy…purdy good. The Niners trounced Tom Brady and the Bucs 35-7, with Christian McCaffrey also pitching in on the scoreboard. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs looked like they were putting together a blowout in Denver…until the Broncos scored 21 unanswered points to close the gap, with Mahomes throwing three interceptions, but the Chiefs hung on to win 34-28. And in Detroit, the Lions closed out their victory over the Vikings with not quite a Thicc Six - but a thicc third down conversion to OT Penei Sewell. Our Monday QB Alex Smith tells us everything he saw on Sunday across the NFL. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
