Title: Brock Purdy Continues to Make NFL History Despite His Focus on Winning Games
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy may not care about records or awards, but his stellar performance on the field continues to make NFL history. Leading the league in completion percentage and passer rating, Purdy’s accuracy had him on the verge of joining an esteemed list that includes none other than franchise legend Joe Montana.
Before Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks, Purdy had achieved a remarkable six consecutive games with a completion percentage of 70 or higher. His performance against the Seahawks pushed him to become the fourth quarterback in NFL history to accomplish this feat seven times in a row, joining the ranks of Montana, Sam Bradford, and Drew Brees.
In addition to leading the NFL in completion percentage and passer rating, Purdy also lead the league in touchdown percentage, yards per attempt, and yards gained per completion through 12 games entering Sunday. With four games featuring three or more touchdown passes and a passer rating of 140 or higher, Purdy has tied the likes of Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers for the most such games in a single season in NFL history.
Since taking over as the 49ers’ starter late last season, Purdy has accumulated a remarkable 15-3 record and has broken both franchise and league records. His outstanding performance has also led to him making a strong case for this season’s NFL MVP award. However, Purdy remains focused on winning games and did exactly that in the 49ers’ 28-16 win over the Seahawks on Sunday.
While Purdy may not be concerned about records or awards, his impact on the field continues to make waves in the NFL. As the season progresses, all eyes will be on the 49ers quarterback as he looks to solidify his place among NFL greats.
