He had a perfect, 158.3 passer rating at halftime (14-of-16, 200 yards, two touchdowns) but a pair of second-half interceptions torpedoed a mistake-prone team that\u2019s lost so often with late-game miscues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seemed like he had a really good night except for those two picks, and they were two tough ones,\u201d Shanahan said of\u00a0Purdy, who finished 27-of-35 for 377 yards with three touchdown passes and two interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>This 49ers\u2019 home finale opened with so much of what The Faithful restlessly sought this season: Purdy in MVP-caliber form; Deebo Samuel scoring a touchdown; George Kittle bulldozing defenders; first-round pick Ricky Pearsall making grabs on a breakout night (eight catches, 141 yards); and, Nick Bosa harassing the opposing quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Alas, the 49ers could not keep pace with the Lions, nor rally past them like last matchup, when they overcame a 24-7 halftime deficit and won the NFC crown 34-31.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe difference in the game, in the type of game it was \u2014 and they\u2019ve been in a number of them this year \u2014 we had to win it in a shootout.

The comeback essentially died there, all due respect to a 7-yard, last-minute touchdown run by Josh Dobbs, Purdy\u2019s replacement and Sunday\u2019s potential starter if Purdy is out and the 49ers\u2019 offensive line remains in shambles.<\/p>\n<p>Dobbs\u2019 score set up more misery for Moody, who missed the ensuing point-after attempt for his third miss of the night.
