49ers Film Review: Brock Purdy’s record-breaking performance

Brock Purdy has been the story over the last six weeks of the 49ers season. Since stepping in when Jimmy Garoppolo went down with an injury the rookie has put up numbers that rival those of Joe Montana and Steve Young.

In the season finale against Arizona, Purdy completed 15 of 20 pass attempts for 178 yards, and three touchdowns. Purdy became the only quarterback since 1950 to win his first five NFL starts and throw two or more touchdown passes in each game. His three touchdowns also gave him 13 for the season, a franchise record for a rookie.
