The 49ers entered Monday night knowing the needed a win to distance themselves from another NFC playoff contender in the Carolina Panthers. Despite three uncharacteristic interceptions from quarterback Brock Purdy, the 49ers' defense stepped up to secure a 20-9 victory as safety Ji'Ayir Brown's two interceptions helped San Francisco hold Carolina to single digits. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss Purdy's dip in form and whether he's physically 100 percent, linebacker Curtis Robinson's long-awaited first NFL start and Brown's career night. Finally, wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk's curious contract situation is highlighted: With five regular-season games remaining, will he return? And what are the motivating factors for both parties if he does?
