Purdy’s key second half runs and determination helped the Niners secure an improbable come-from-behind win against Detroit. After a strong halftime lead from the Lions, San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan felt confident they could still rally. On the Detroit side, Lions coach Dan Campbell had no regrets on fourth-down decisions. Despite the disappointment of another season without a title, Michigan politicians showed support for the Lions. A two-minute warning left Detroit with a small chance, but a tough San Francisco defense made a successful Lions comeback seem unlikely. The Lions’ dominant first half was challenged by the Niners’ remarkably successful comeback, led by Purdy and Aiyuk. In the end, the Niners won the second half with a score of 27-0.
