Tom Brady loved watching 49ers dial in smartly to score touchdowns on Chiefs

It was only fitting that Tom Brady was in attendance for this season’s Super Bowl rematch between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.

Early in Sunday’s highly anticipated game, the 49ers’ offense took a hit, with Deebo Samuel retiring due to illness and Brandon Aiyuk taking a scary hit in the first half. What does quarterback Brock Purdy do on two of his top targets in the end zone?

He takes it himself.

In the third quarter, Kyle Shanahan called the perfect quarterback sneak play to allow Purdy to easily score a touchdown while shutting down the Chiefs defense.

Brady couldn’t contain his excitement as he watched the play unfold.

“That was one of the rarer ones I’ve seen,” Brady said. “They pulled both guards – but really creative play calling – watch both guards pull, and it leaves Purdy one-on-one. That’s one way to do it. I don’t see much cheating, that was two cheating quarterback sneaks, that was pretty sick.

Purdy’s score helped cut the Chiefs’ lead to 14-12 in the third quarter. Purdy, who owns San Francisco’s only touchdown of the game so far, has currently completed 9 of 20 passes for 122 yards and recorded two interceptions.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hasn’t fared much better, with 116 yards through the air and no touchdowns against two interceptions.
