Fred Warner finished his postgame press conference with a glowing introduction for his quarterback, and Brock Purdy had a one-word review when replacing him behind the podium.

Warner spoke to reporters before Purdy after the San Francisco 49ers beat the Las Vegas Raiders 38-17 on Sunday, and he wrapped up by handing off to the next speaker.

“He gives us the best chance to win every single week, he’s the reason we got a chance to get a trophy, Brock Purdy!” Warner said emphatically. Purdy strolled over to take his spot, let out a small chuckle and said, “That was cringe.”

The awkward moment capped a day in which both players had plenty to be proud of. Warner, who was one of the defensive stars, forced a fumble from Raiders tight end Brock Bowers and recovered a fumble by tight end Michael Mayer in the end zone for a touchback.

He said the defense had made takeaways the emphasis all week.

“That was honestly the emphasis going into the week,” Warner said. “To come out the second half and have five of those was unbelievable. It was guys being in the right spot doing their job.”

San Francisco (7-1) had five takeaways in the second half, its first time doing so since a game against the Raiders at Candlestick Park 20 years ago. Linebacker Jaden Dugger set the tone on the first play of the half when he intercepted a Kirk Cousins pass and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown.

Rookie Treydan Stukes then intercepted Purdy for Las Vegas, but Warner’s forced fumble on Bowers erased the opportunity. Cousins finished with three interceptions, including ones by Renardo Green in the end zone and Malik Mustapha in the fourth quarter.

Purdy finished with 232 passing yards and two touchdown passes, and he also ran for a 1-yard score. The 37-yard touchdown he threw to Jordan Watkins, the receiver’s first career touchdown, made it 35-17 late in the third quarter, and Christian McCaffrey scored on both a run and a pass. The 49ers outrushed the Raiders 190-24.

Purdy also became the 10th quarterback since the merger with at least 100 touchdown passes in his first 57 career games, a milestone he said he did not know about until the locker room.

“In the moment we’re competing and have a next-play mentality and I didn’t know that was a thing,” Purdy said. “In the locker room when I found out that was pretty cool. That’s something I don’t want to overlook. As a kid if you told me I’d be in the NFL and throw 100 touchdowns, that’s really cool.”

Purdy has thrown 17 touchdown passes against five interceptions this season and has been part of early MVP conversations as the 49ers sit atop the NFC standings.

Las Vegas (4-5) became the fifth team in NFL history to allow at least 30 points in six straight games in the same season. The 49ers’ day also had a painful side, as rookie defensive tackle Gracen Halton was carted off in the fourth quarter with a broken left ankle that will end his season. San Francisco visits Dallas next Sunday.
