San Francisco has the chops to survive numerous injuries. Rookie QB Brock Purdy's first NFL start showed off Niners' resilience.
The NFC playoffs will induce yawns if no one’s able to stand up to the increasingly stout Philadelphia Eagles .
With a defense that’s the NFL’s best statistically and Kyle Shanahan’s ability to swing the chess match on offense, the Niners don’t need a quarterback who’s the next Joe Montana or Steve Young.Competent quarterbacking should make them dangerous, and what we learned Sunday is that Brock Purdy, their third starter there this year, can provide it.
Purdy, who wears No. 13, looked comfortable against a veteran Bucs defense that was able to study him from seven days earlier, when he replaced the injured Jimmy Garoppolo in the first quarter of a 16-point victory against Miami. From there, they drove for a 7-0 lead on the strength of Purdy’s third-down seam pass to George Kittle and Shanahan’s chess moves that facilitated McCaffrey’s 21-yard rush and Samuel’s 13-yard rushing TD .
