Brock Purdy passes predecessor to move into 7th in 49ers passing TDs

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been phenomenal since returning from his toe injury this season, and that streak continued on Sunday night against the Chicago Bears at Levi's Stadium.

After throwing a pick-six on the very first play of the game, Purdy bounced back and threw for 303 yards and three touchdowns while adding another 28 yards and two scores with his legs.

Purdy's three touchdowns moved him into seventh in 49ers history, passing Jimmy Garoppolo, who Purdy replaced during the 2022 season.

Garoppolo threw 82 touchdowns with the 49ers from 2017-22 before injuries landed him on the bench. Since then, he's played for the Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Rams.

With just one game left in the 2025 regular season, this will be the highest that Purdy climbs on the list this year. However, if he stays healthy in 2026, he could pass Y.A. Tittle, who threw 108 passing touchdowns with the 49ers.
