Golden Nuggets: The league’s hottest kicking competition is underway

“On the first snap of the 49ers’ 11-on-11 period, quarterback Brock Purdy delivered a dart deep down the right side to tight end George Kittle.

The pass might have taken the 49ers’ defense by surprise. And it certainly caught cornerback Deommodore Lenoir in a blown assignment, according to Kittle. Lenoir went with Jennings underneath, which left Kittle wide open further down the field.

Purdy’s next two pass attempts were intercepted. He attempted a deep pass for wide receiver Demarcus Robinson, which fluttered far short of its intended mark. Safety Jason Pinnock made a diving interception.

On Purdy’s next pass attempt, linebacker Dee Winters undercut an inside route and came up with the takeaway on what would have been a pick-six.
