Brock Purdy won over coach Kyle Shanahan and his teammates for good the night he beat Seattle with a broken rib.
SANTA CLARA — Brock Purdy was studying to get the jump on a condensed week of preparation with the New York Giants up next Thursday night when he heard a familiar jingle in the background.
Purdy, who also has a deal with Alaska Airlines, said the spot in which he promotes a pickup truck was a long process.The last time Purdy played on a Thursday night, no one was asking him to do commercials. His emergence as a national story was in its infancy when the 49ers visited the Seattle Seahawks last Dec. 15 with a chance to win the NFC West title.
But any euphoria Purdy felt about coming out on top against the most prolific quarterback in NFL history was overwhelmed by the pain of a fractured rib sustained on the second drive of the game. Adrenaline got him through it, but was of no help the next day. “We probably wouldn’t have if we had been in a different situation,” Shanahan said. “We had to give him every moment, and what he pulled off — to be able to play and do it the way he did — was impressive.”
