49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, making his first career start against Tom Brady and the Bucs Sunday, blew away the doubters and led his team to a 35-7 drubbing of Tampa Bay.
SANTA CLARA -- Brock Purdy threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score in his first career start and San Francisco's vaunted defense spoiled Tom Brady's Bay Area homecoming with a 35-7 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.
Purdy's first start got off to a painful start when he was flattened on a blitz by Keanu Neal on the first play on a play that was ruled roughing the passer. San Francisco already led 21-0 at that point with Purdy having scored on a 2-yard run and a 27-yard TD pass to Christian McCaffrey.
