Let’s turn the page to the 49ers' Week 14 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Brock Purdy will become the fifth rookie to start a game this season Sunday. In his postgame interview after the Dolphins game, Purdy had a funny quote about playing Tampa Bay’s starter Tom Brady:
Brock Purdy’s first start will come against Tom Brady. Purdy just said, “that dudes been playing football longer than I’ve been alive.”

I expected Brady and the Bucs to take off by now and challenge the Eagles, 49ers, and Cowboys for the crown as the best team in the NFC, but that hasn’t happened.
