The scoring drive gave the 49ers an early 7-0 lead over the Lions. The scoring drought had gone back to December of 2014.

The San Francisco 49ers have been one of the league's most physically imposing teams since head coach Kyle Shanahan arrived in 2017, which has only furthered in recent years with the team consistently building around their core to fit the culture. That has led to sustained success for the 49ers, and not so much for their opponents, at least in a certain way back in 2022. Are the 49ers the best team in the NFL after Rams win? Last year, the 49ers held an impressive streak; opponents went 0-15 in games the following week after facing the 49ers, which was a

Brock Purdy on pace to be 49ers' first 4,000-yard passer since Jeff Garcia

Since the turn of the century, there have been 179 single-season quarterback performances of at least 4,000 yards. The 49ers, as fans well know, have but one—Jeff Garcia's impressive but futile 4,278 yard effort in a 2000 season that saw SF go just 6-10. Since then, that franchise high-water mark has gone untouched. There have been a few other contenders to rally around in that span—Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, and Jimmy Garoppolo, but each have fallen short of that historic mark. Brock Purdy, though, will at least threaten to meet that lofty expectation. With his latest 310-yard, two-touchdown performance, Purdy finds himself on pace for a 4,171-yard season in 2023.
