After a remarkable first season as a starting quarterback, Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers face a tougher reality in 2023. Injuries, contract disputes, and a decline in offensive performance have hampered the team's success.
Down 17 points to Detroit at the half of last season's NFC title game, Brock Purdy helped engineer the comeback that sent the San Francisco 49ers to the Super Bowl in one of the most memorable performances of a spectacular first full season as a NFL starting quarterback.As Purdy prepares to face the Lions on Monday night for the first time since that 34-31 victory, the success this season has been much more elusive.
Reigning Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey missed the first eight games with Achilles' tendinitis and then went down with a knee injury in his fourth game back.Purdy also hasn't been as sharp or consistent and his passer rating has dropped nearly 20 points to 94.4, his yards per attempt are down to 8.3 and he has only 17 TD passes.
