Brock Purdy became the first of seven quarterbacks in NFL history to win a debut against Tom Brady.
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, as surprisingly impressive as he was in relief last Sunday to beat Miami, put forth a masterpiece Sunday. He became the first of seven quarterbacks in NFL history to win a debut against Tom Brady, a San Mateo native who played only once previously on the 49ers’ field .
On the 49ers’ way to a sixth straight win, however, came trouble, in the form of Deebo Samuel getting carted off with an ankle injury, 5 minutes before halftime. It’s the latest, scary injury to a franchise that deployed Purdy as its third starting quarterback this season, a week after losing Jimmy Garoppolo to a potentially season-ending foot fracture.
