It wasn't a picture-perfect performance Sunday vs. the Titans, but the 49ers returned from their bye week energized and executed when they needed to on their way to 37-24 victory at Levi's Stadium. Offensively, they looked sharp and scored on their first five possessions. Quarterback Brock Purdy threw for three touchdowns and zero interceptions as Ricky Pearsall finally broke through with a team-high 96 receiving yards and Jauan Jennings added two touchdowns. San Francisco's defense was tested, however, and will need to promptly turn things around with three regular-season games left and a ton on the line. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how San Francisco's offense is jelling at the right time, and how Purdy's confidence is contagious to the whole position group. They also detail how the 49ers' defense will need to step up amid a heated playoff race within their conference and, most importantly, their own division. San Francisco's postseason future is right in front of them, and they will play a large role in how it plays out down the stretch.
