Purdy is playing the best football of any quarterback

San Francisco has scored 98 points.

The 49ers' defense is thinning

Arizona scored 30 and held the ball 39 minutes, and Bosa is now out.

Denver keeps finding ways

Two comeback wins make this closer than the records suggest.

A Medium home lean, lower than the 49ers' record implies because of the injury list.
