Brock Purdy hits Brandon Aiyuk with pair of first-half 49ers touchdown passes - ESPN

PITTSBURGH — San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy waited six months to the day to return from his offseason elbow surgery. It took all of 5½ minutes for him to throw his first touchdown pass.

After the Niners' defense got a three-and-out on the opening possession, the Niners quickly marched to Pittsburgh's 8. On first-and-goal, Purdy dropped back, scanned the field and found wideout Brandon Aiyuk wide open in the end zone for an 8-yard touchdown. The extra point made it 7-0 Niners with 9:29 left in the first quarter.
