Purdy's late-game drive hampered by Pineiro's missed PAT in 29-20 loss to Falcons.

Purdy got the ball late in the fourth quarter against the Falcons with the 49ers trailing by two scores; he led what became the team's final drive, but the outcome was affected by Pineiro's missed extra point that cut the deficit to 26-20 instead of 25-20, leaving the 49ers unable to tie with a touchdown and two-point conversion after Atlanta extended the lead to 29-20.
