Fox maybe-accidentally highlights PG-13 sign about 49ers' Brock Purdy

The San Francisco 49ers (and their fans) have enjoyed giving backup quarterbacks nether-related nicknames over the last few years.

Nick Mullens and Brock Purdy have allowed for not-particularly-sophisticated first-name wordplay opportunities that rhyme with a synonym for "penis." Mullens was often called "Big Dick Nick" during his tenuous 49ers tenure, and now, Purdy has followed in his footsteps. The Niners have reportedly tabbed Purdy as "Big Cock Brock" and keep talking about the size of his testicles after he snagged the starting job this season. Fans have had plenty of fun with the nicknames too, and it seems that during the first half of the 49ers-Seahawks NFC wild-card round, a risk-taking producer at Fox wanted to make sure those fans had their sign highlighted.
