LAS VEGAS —  Here is how the 49ers (12-4) graded in Sunday’s 37-34 overtime win at the Las Vegas Raiders (6-10):

Brock Purdy stayed undefeated in his fifth game since replacing Jimmy Garoppolo, and for the fifth game, he produced two touchdown passes (2-yard scoring strikes to Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle on the first two drives). But this win was different. This win showed his ability to rally (from a 10-point deficit), how he “kept attacking, never got gun shy,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. Brandon Aiyuk emerged as Purdy’s go-to target, not just with a first-series touchdown catch but more so in the clutch, including four catches for 52 yards on the 49ers’ final drive of regulation. Purdy had “mixed plays,” Shanahan added, such as an underthrown pass that got intercepted, but also savvy moves to avoid being sacked and throwing the ball out of bounds. George Kittle also praised Purdy (22-of-35 for 284 yards) for answering in his first pressure-packed game, as well as for “keeping his eyes up and finding me in the back of the end zone” on the 49ers’ second touchdown.
