Studs and Duds: Purdy Looks Injured and the Run Game Looks Feeble in Niners’ 26-21 Loss to the Jaguars

Brock Purdy’s knee injury and four turnovers hampered the 49ers’ offense, while the Jaguars capitalized on special teams mistakes to secure a 26-21 win, Jaguars’ Travis Etienne rushed for 124 yards.

  • On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers lost 26-21 to the Jacksonville Jaguars at Levi's Stadium, with quarterback Brock Purdy's right knee `clearly not right` and hurting the offense.
  • A weak rushing attack and turnovers forced the issue as the San Francisco 49ers committed four turnovers and conceded a punt return touchdown on Sunday.
  • Purdy's stat line showed inconsistency as he threw two touchdowns but also committed three turnovers, while Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence and running back Travis Etienne fueled long drives.
  • The loss leaves the San Francisco 49ers 3-1 and with only three days before a Thursday night game in Los Angeles, creating a short turnaround.
  • Defensive and kicking-game issues stood out as the San Francisco 49ers defensive front rarely pressured Trevor Lawrence and special teams remain a debacle after miscues.
