It was the Brock Purdy show in the San Francisco 49ers‘ 48-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts on December 22 at Lucas Oil Stadium. After the Niners clinched their playoff spot on December 21, they didn’t let their performance slip and came out with a statement road victory.
Purdy led the charge as he completed 25 of 34 passes for 295 passing yards while recording five touchdowns and one interception. The 49ers star was lethal in the red zone for the visitors, going 4-for-6 on their attempts inside the 20-yard line.
Moreover, the 49ers have won five straight games heading into the final two games of the 2025 NFL season and still have a shot at winning the NFC West division.
During this win streak, Purdy has a passer rating of 110.0, with 1,151 passing yards, 13 touchdowns, and four interceptions over his last five games, per StatMuse.
If San Francisco want to win the division, they not only need certain breaks to go their way, but Purdy continuing to play at an impressive level. After the win over the Colts, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan didn’t hold back on what he thought of Purdy’s performance.
“He did awesome, man,” Shanahan told reporters (h/t 95.7 The Game). “Played really well. Got on him for a couple he missed, but it was pretty close to a perfect game. So he did a hell of a job.”
Trent Williams Doesn’t Hold Back on 49ers’ Brock Purdy
Moreover, 49ers offensive lineman Trent Williams didn’t hesitate to sing the signal caller’s praises while speaking to Scott Van Pelt of ESPN.
“He’s resilient, and he carries a certain peace about him right now that keeps him from getting rattled,” Williams said postgame on ESPN. “He’s truly confident in his abilities and fully trusts the scheme, and it radiates from him, something the whole offense can feel. He’s our leader, and we follow him.”
Williams and the rest of the offensive line did an excellent job giving Purdy time to drop back and pick apart the Colts’ defense. Indianapolis’ defense recorded only one sack in the game, and the only blemish for the 49ers quarterback was the interception.
49ers Outlook for Final Two Games
Now that the 49ers have a playoff spot, the focus shifts to seeding and a potential division title if certain scenarios play out in their favor. Nonetheless, to win the NFC West, they need to win out, and they will have two challenging opponents standing in their way.
San Francisco will face the Chicago Bears and Seattle Seahawks, two opponents already in the playoffs. Despite their postseason berth, they are still fighting to claim their division. However, what gives the Niners the upper hand is that both games will be at Levi’s Stadium, so the team will have its home crowd behind it.
The 49ers are 4-2 at home this season, so they will be looking to finish 6-2 and might have a shot to win the division and host a playoff game. Nevertheless, San Francisco have shown they can win on the road in tough environments, so it will be interesting to see how this situation plays out.
