As the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers continues to put on incredibly impressive performances, Brock Purdy received additional recognition following his outstanding play in last Sunday’s victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
In a 28-16 victory over the Seahawks, Purdy recorded a career-high 368 passing yards with two touchdowns and an interception to help the 49ers raise their record to 10-3.
Purdy became just the fourth player to string together seven games in a row with a completion percentage of above 70 in a single season. Furthermore, he recorded his 12th game with a passer rating of 110 or higher, tying his idol Dan Marino. In his first two seasons, this was the third-most by a quarterback.
Beyond the win that shot the 49ers to the NFC’s top seed, he received his third FedEx Air Player of the Week honor.
This season, no other quarterback has received that distinction three times.
Purdy won’t be too concerned about such individual recognition as he works to lead the 49ers to a postseason first-round bye.
But Purdy’s special hat-trick provides more proof that he is in the running for MVP, and should the 49ers win their conference at the end of the regular season, it might be hard to keep him from winning the most coveted award.
