Brock Purdy makes history with a five-touchdown MNF performance

Brock Purdy delivered a Monday Night Football performance that will be remembered in San Francisco for decades. In a game that quickly turned historic, the 49ers quarterback threw five touchdown passes against the Indianapolis Colts, ending a drought that had stood for 35 long years.

According to ESPN, Purdy became the first quarterback in San Francisco 49ers history to throw five touchdowns in a single Monday Night Football game. That single stat alone put the night into perspective, but the performance carried even more weight as the game unfolded. Calm, confident, and completely in control, Purdy looked at home on the biggest stage.

Facing the Indianapolis Colts, Purdy carved up the defense with precision and poise. He spread the ball around, kept the offense moving, and consistently made the right reads. His fifth and milestone touchdown came on his second scoring connection with Christian McCaffrey, a moment that officially sealed his place in franchise history.

As ESPN reporter Adam Schefter highlighted, no 49ers quarterback had ever accomplished this feat on Monday Night Football before. Another ESPN report, this time from Jeremy Fowler, added further context to the achievement: Purdy is now just the third quarterback in franchise history to throw five touchdowns in a single game, joining legendary names like Steve Young and Joe Montana. That alone speaks volumes about the level of company Purdy now keeps.
