Purdy might just be the quarterback Kyle Shanahan has always wanted.
Purdy, the rookie seventh-round pick — the last pick in the 2022 draft — faced a wily Tampa Bay defense that threw every trick they knew at him on Sunday.San Francisco’s run game carried a serious wallop and the NFL’s best defense made the greatest quarterback in the history of the game, Tom Brady, look like he just ate a bowl of nightshades.
The funny thing is, according to oddsmakers, the Niners were only favored to win Sunday’s game by the prescribed 3-point home-field advantage.Sunday was San Francisco’s best performance of the season. That’s not supposed to happen with the most recent Mr. Irrelevant at quarterback.Quarterbacks don’t luck into games like that against Tampa Bay’s defense. And no defense flummoxes Brady like that.
If that keeps up for the rest of the season, the Niners will clinch the NFC West with three games to play on Thursday. They’ll take the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs after that.
