Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers: Box score, player stats, and game summary feat. Jared Goff, Brock Purdy

The lasy Monday Night Football game of the 2024 season was basically a no-bearer, as the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions had learned of their fates beforehand. The erstwhile-NFC champions had been eliiminated from playoff contention after a highly disappointing campaign marred by injuries, while the team they had defeated in the previoys conference title game was looking ahead to a monstrous clash with the Minnesota Vikings with the NFC North, conference top seed, and first-round bye on the line.

Still, the game had to be played. Who won?

Detroit Lions vs. San Francisco 49ers game summary

The game began with Brock Purdy barely finding rookie Ricky Pearsall for a touchdown. Jameson Williams did not take long to tie the game, but Jordan Elliott blocked the extra point.

To open the second quarter, Purdy found Kyle Juszczyk for a touchdown:

The Lions did not take long to respond via Williams lateraling to Amon-Ra St. Brown:

Purdy then scurried his way in for a rushing score off a pump fake:

Eventually, someone had to err first; and it would be the Lions, who committed a turnover on downs while deep inside enemy territory. Howerver, Jake Moody failed to punish the blunder, missing a field goal attempt.

The second half began as the first had: with a touchdown, courtesy of Goff finding Sam LaPorta for six, then tying the game with a two-pointer to Tim Patrick. But Deebo Samuel responded in kind to retake the lead for the hosts.

Jake Bates scored a field goal afterward, then the Lions got the first major defensive play of the game: Kerby Joseph stole a deep middle pass intended for Pearsall. They would turn it into another touchdown, this time to Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The fourth quarter began with disaster, as Moody missed yet another field goal attempt - which Jake Bates punished by connecting on his second. More disaster befell the 49ers afterward, as Joseph beat Pearsall to the throw for another interception, which then turned into yet another touchdown (plus missed extra point).

Joshua Dobbs scored a rushing touchdown to reduce the deficit to six, only for Moody to miss the extra point. No one recovered the onside kick, ending the game.
