Purdy takes a shotgun snap and delivers a strike to Brandon Aiyuk for a 38-yard gain. They used to be called dimes. The 49ers call them dots. The coverage wasn’t bad, but it didn’t matter. First down 49ers at the 22-yard line.Three plays later, it’s third-and-9 at the Washington 17. Purdy is flushed from the pocket and starts left, then breaks right to find room to throw.
