Brock Purdy's nickname captured the attention of NFL fans after he helped lead the team to a win over the Dolphins.

Kittle initially chose to keep his interview cleaner than that of Shanahan. That's part of why his coaches and teammates praised him so much after the game. Purdy’s got enough swagger to have earned a not-fit-for-print, three-word nickname that begins with 'Big' and is followed by two rhyming, one-syllable words, the last of which is his first name. He was confident on the field and seemed to have command of the San Francisco offense. "He’s got some cojones to him," Kittle said. And according to him, Purdy got his NSFW nickname because of his on-field demeanor more than anything else.

Christian McCaffrey gave the 49ers a healthy lead after catching a dazzling TD pass from rookie QB Brock Purdy.

It was the first rushing score of Purdy's career to give San Francisco a 14-0 lead. The score staked the Niners to a 21-0 lead with 7:49 left in the half. It also gave the 49ers a 28-0 halftime lead as Purdy went 14-of-18 for 185 yards and two scores.

[December 11, 2022] Purdy has San Francisco leading Tom Brady and the Bucs 28-0 as of this writing and the former Iowa State QB has ran for a TD and thrown two TD passes. That’s not bad for your NFL debut.

NFL Twitter had great reactions to Brock Purdy's performance in the 49ers' dominant win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

San Francisco can clinch the NFC West with a win at Lumen Field. Purdy and the 49ers can celebrate the inspiring win on Sunday but will have a short turnaround to prepare for a divisional clash against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday. The poised 22-year-old helped San Francisco get its sixth consecutive win with a dominant 35-7 win over the Tom Brady-led Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at Levi's Stadium.

(ankle). He capped a near-perfect first half with a 32-yard TD pass to Brandon Aiyuk, joining Don Strock (1975) as the only players to throw at least two TD passes and run for another in the first half of their first career start, according to Sportradar. Samuel got hurt on a fumble in the second quarter in an emotional scene that saw dozens of his teammates come on the field to wish him well before he was taken away on a cart with his head in his hands. (AP) — 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.

Here's everything you need to know about San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's college career.

Iowa State 24, No. 8 Oklahoma State 21 28, 2018 (Alamo Bowl) Washington State 28, Iowa State 26 During the 2017 season, Purdy threw for 4,410 yards and 57 touchdowns (an Arizona Conference 6A record), while rushing for 1,106 yards and 10 touchdowns. By his senior season, Purdy was one of the greatest quarterbacks in Cylcone history.

The 49ers ruined Brady's perfect record (6-0) against quarterbacks making their first career start. While a big part of the reason was a massive day by running ...

He went to one with the 49ers in 2019 and the NFC championship game in 2021. He was decisive as he ran it in from the 2. He threw an interception toward the end of the first half, but it was wiped out by a Buccaneers penalty. It seemed as if Purdy was made for the 49ers' offense. Fox tried — and failed — to not make comparisons between Tom Brady and Brock Purdy as the two faced off in Purdy's NFL starting debut Sunday. Purdy completed 16 of 21 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns, to go with a rushing touchdown.

“Nice for my family to come close. “Threw a lot of good balls,” Brady told reporters. They believed in me when I was the last draft pick and all that stuff.” “Love having everyone here,” Brady said. Being a little kid, watching that guy kill it throughout all these years, win Super Bowls, and then to be able to just even give him a high five or whatever at the end, I thought that was pretty cool.” Irrelevant,” but was thrust into the fray last week against the Miami Dolphins after starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo broke his foot.

Niners blow out Brady and the Bucs, Cowboys and Chiefs nearly blow it, and those rising Lions do indeed have a playoff pulse.

The Bills produced only 232 total yards, and Allen was only 16-of-27 for 147 yards. Patrick Mahomes was his usual dynamic self from a good standpoint — 28-of-42 for 352 yards and three touchdowns — but continued his growing recent penchant of throwing untimely picks. “That’s the NFL,” Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz said. Only the Texans nearly won it. And you know what? The Giants are dissolving on both sides of the ball as thoroughly as the Seahawks’ defence. He’s going a long way toward convincing the world the Lions maybe should not parlay high picks come next April, to draft the next young QB saviour on whom the club can peg its future hopes — because maybe, just maybe, the QB of the future already is on the roster. On Sunday, Detroit never trailed. the 3-10 Chicago Bears, and at the 5-8 Green Bay Packers. As a result, the Lions are now 6-7 on the season and find themselves in the thick of the NFC wild-card playoff race. Tampa Bay’s drives before scoring their lone touchdown late in the third quarter ended thus: Missed field goal, punt, punt, punt, turnover on downs, end of half, interception, interception. Purdy looked poised, wholly sure of himself and crisp in his decision-making.

A third-string QB looks like the real deal for the 49ers, while the Lions are rising as quickly as the Giants are fading. Geoff Schwartz breaks down Week ...

Kyle Shanahan was impressed with the rookie's skills, cocky competitiveness and willingness to push whoever he was playing with on the scout team.

Against the Dolphins, Purdy was 25 of 37 for 210 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception. He spent time with the Titans as a bridge. He will be a free agent in 2024, as well. Irrelevants are currently playing in the NFL, three of whom were drafted in the past three years. NFL players picked last overall in the draft are often practice squad fodder for their generally short careers, but 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is looking to leave his mark, starting in place of an injured Jimmy Garoppolo (and Trey Lance). Irrelevant is one of the more mean-spirited nicknames for NFL draft picks, but if the shoe fits, it must be worn.

After a historic performance Sunday, Brock Purdy shared a special moment with his head coach in the 49ers' locker room.

The rookie got his chance, and he made the most of it Sunday. Purdy helped San Francisco gain such a large lead that Shanahan felt comfortable enough to pull him with eight minutes left in the game against the king of epic comebacks -- an unheard-of move. He was nearly perfect in the win, completing 16 of 21 passes for 185 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions, and added one rushing TD. “He reacts and runs around and makes some plays. He moved pretty well today." I thought it was similar to the week before,” Shanahan said.

"I didn't see him get hurt," Juszczyk said after the game of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. Below are the 49ers-Dolphins in-game injury updates. And he wasn't the only quarterback with family in the stands, although that quarterback was left wishing he could have put on a better show for his special guests than the one they wound up getting on Sunday. We'll talk about that plus where things went wrong for Purdy on the game's first play, as well as what the 49ers said about getting some Panther-style help on Sunday and much more. So, I'm going to get some treatment on it and be ready to roll." "No, it just got to that point (a big lead) in the game, so we didn't put him back in," Shanahan responded. Last week, Purdy finished 25-of-37 for 210 passing yards, two touchdowns, and an interception against the Miami Dolphins, the quarterback's first extended action of his pro career. The 49ers will see how Purdy, Samuel, and the others feel when they report to the team on Monday morning. Shanahan was asked if that was why the quarterback exited in the fourth quarter. [Josh Johnson](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JohnJo05.htm) All signs indicate that the injury could have been worse, though. [Dontae Johnson](https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/J/JohnDo02.htm)

Samuel sustained the injury at the end of a 3-yard carry with 5:10 to play in the first half.

After an ugly loss to [Kansas City](https://theathletic.com/nfl/team/chiefs/) on Oct. [Dre Greenlaw](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/dre-greenlaw-eUZupNQm3lQHR1C2/), who also recorded 15 tackles. [Rakeem Nunez-Roches](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/rakeem-nunez-roches-zYGN3zOCDJKs5URx/) across the line early, giving the 49ers a five-yard bonus. Before that score the 49ers led 35-0, which would have tied the biggest margin of defeat for Brady. When’s the last time a game involving Brady got booted off TV because a Brady-led team was being beaten so badly? Then Purdy spotted [Brandon Aiyuk](https://theathletic.com/nfl/player/brandon-aiyuk-53v7fOffjiSNI8Y9/) deep and threw a 32-yard touchdown. The bad news: everything else. Brady entered Levi’s Stadium with a bounce in his step. That veteran savvy, of course, was highlighted even more by the struggles the 23-year veteran Brady experienced against the 49ers’ defense. If there was a critique of Purdy following last week’s relief effort against Miami it was that he didn’t attack at all down the field. It resulted in a 146.5 passer rating in the first half. The rookie quarterback Purdy picked up right where Garoppolo left off in his first start as 49ers quarterback, leading to a 28-0 halftime lead over the Buccaneers.
