In the 49ers’ Monday Night Football battle against the Detroit Lions, San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy notched a statistical milestone that no 49ers signal-caller has tracked down since Colin Kaepernick.
Facing a second-and-goal snap from the Detroit 9-yard line, Purdy scrambled and then pump faked his way into the end zone for a 9-yard rushing score.
The rushing touchdown extended the 49ers’ lead over the Detroit Lions to 21-13. It also represented Purdy’s fifth rushing touchdown of the season, which matches Kaepernick for the most rushing touchdowns by a 49er quarterback in a season since Kaepernick also had five rushing scores during the 2012 San Francisco season.
