Purdy and the veteran receiver, who was still dealing with the effects of a broken rib suffered two weeks ago, connected five times on a 12-play touchdown drive that bridged the third and fourth quarters and took back the lead for the 49ers. Seventy-five of Evans' 113 receiving yards came on that possession, and he also caught a 2-point conversion that stretched the lead to three points.

Evans caught 5 of 12 plays for 75 yards on game-winning drive vs. Seahawks.

Evans dominated the 49ers' crucial 12-play touchdown drive that bridged the third and fourth quarters, connecting with Purdy five times for 75 of his 113 receiving yards on the possession. He also caught a 2-point conversion that stretched the lead to three points. The drive began on San Francisco's 26-yard line and included three 49ers penalties; Evans' big throws helped overcome all of them, including a 28-yard back-shoulder catch on a second-and-21 scenario. Evans was matched against 5-11 cornerback Josh Jobe on each catch during the drive.
