As the season winds down, Brock Purdy looks more and more comfortable in the 49ers’ offense. But, look quickly enough, and you might forget he’s a rookie starting the third game of his career. The Washington defense ranked fourth in the NFL, so Saturday’s game was a test for the rookie QB.
The first-half numbers weren’t sparkling for Purdy. 4/9, 55 yards, an interception, and a sack for a loss of eight yards. Purdy finished the half with a 25.0 QB rating.
The second half was a much different story. The 49ers’ offense exploded for 30 points as the 49ers cruised to victory.
