Down 22-17, Purdy completed a 17-yard pass to wide receiver Jauan Jennings. But on the first play after the two-minute warning, Purdy was hit as he was throwing. His pass ended up short of the intended target and resulted in Kader Kohou's interception. "I was trying to layer it over that defender for Ricky (Pearsall)," Purdy said.

Purdy completed 26 of 40 pass attempts for 313 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
