Rookie quarterbacks aren't supposed to play well in the NFL playoffs. They're not even supposed to be in the playoffs.
Brock Purdy is writing a story unlike any we've seen before. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback isn't just a rookie, he was the final pick of the draft. And he has helped the 49ers to two playoff wins.
One of the main reasons Purdy is succeeding is he hasn't made mistakes. No big ones anyway.
Purdy is working on an NFL record for avoiding interceptions. Not only has he thrown the most playoff passes without an interception for a rookie quarterback, he has four times as many passes as any other rookie QB without a pick.
