Brock Purdy Shows Resilient Mindset in 49ers Thanksgiving Win
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy faced a new obstacle in Thursday night’s Thanksgiving game against the Seattle Seahawks, but his resilience was on full display as he overcame a pick-six to secure a 31-13 win.
Purdy, who is often praised for his calm demeanor on the field, threw the first pick-six of his NFL career, allowing the Seahawks to cut the lead to only two scores. Despite the setback, Purdy maintained his aggressive mindset and ultimately threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Aiyuk, securing the win for the 49ers.
Reflecting on the game, Purdy acknowledged the challenge he faced and emphasized the importance of learning from his mistakes. “Obviously it sucked going through it — I got to learn from it. But in terms of who I am and playing this position, that can’t change. So, that’s what I had to keep telling myself,” Purdy told reporters after the game.
The 49ers improved to 8-3 on the season, and with Purdy’s steady but resilient mindset, they hope to maintain their momentum for the rest of the season.
Purdy’s ability to overcome adversity and adapt his mindset in the face of new challenges has been a key factor in the 49ers’ success this season. As he continues to grow and develop in his second year as a pro, his resilient attitude is sure to be an asset for the team in the games to come.
