49ers race out to 7-0 lead in Philly

Our Summary

Quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Demarcus Robinson have given the San Francisco 49ers an early lead against the Philadelphia Eagles. Purdy's connection with Robinson resulted in a significant 61-yard gain on the second offensive play, followed by a two-yard touchdown pass to Robinson. This quick scoring drive put the 49ers ahead 7-0 just over three minutes into the first quarter. During the drive, Purdy also completed an 11-yard pass to running back Christian McCaffrey. With Ricky Pearsall absent for the game, Robinson, who recorded only 22 catches during the regular season, is expected to play a more prominent role.
