Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers offense couldn't be off to a much more efficient start to the season. The 49ers scored touchdowns on their first five possessions for the first time in at least 45 years, and Purdy had a near-perfect performance in a 35-13 win over the Miami Dolphins. Purdy went 20 for 22 for 287 yards with two touchdown passes, one TD run and a 149.1 passer rating.
The 49ers have opened the season with back-to-back wins by at least 20 points for the first time in franchise history.
