The game held a special significance for Purdy and his family, especially his father, Shawn Purdy. Weeks before the matchup, Shawn had asked his son about the remaining home games on the 49ers’ schedule, hoping to attend one. When Brock mentioned the Dolphins, memories flooded back for Shawn, who had been a diehard fan of the team since his childhood in Florida.
