What happened

B.Purdy returned and immediately found G.Kittle on a 30-yard touchdown, the kind of throw that quiets a certain wing of the fanbase for at least a week. The 41-22 final reads cleanly, even with Z.Knight punching in a short rushing score and R.Green's unnecessary roughness undoing a stop. The lingering unease isn't about Purdy's arm — it's whoever's name shows up on Monday's injury report, because this roster cannot afford another one.
