If the San Francisco 49ers offense had fallen flat against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11, then quarterback Brock Purdy likely would have had an understandable excuse.
It would have been easy to blame any would-be struggles on the turf-toe injury he suffered way back in Week 1 and reaggravated again in Week 4.
But Purdy and the Niners offense didn't struggle at Arizona last Sunday, putting up a season-high 41 points in the quarterback's first on-field action since Week 4 in which he tossed three touchdowns against zero interceptions, helping San Francisco achieve its seventh win of the season.
