Perhaps instead of Mr. Irrelevant, it’s time to start calling Brock Purdy Mr. Perfect.
After finishing with a perfect passer rating of 158.3 in Sunday’s 27-14 victory over the Buccaneers, Purdy has been named NFC offensive player of the week.
Purdy completed 21-of-25 passes for 333 yards with three touchdowns and no picks in the contest. He also added 14 yards on four carries.
Purdy’s longest play of the day was a 76-yard touchdown pass to receiver Brandon Aiyuk.
Through 10 games this season, Purdy leads the league with a 70.2 percent completion rate and a 115.1 passer rating. He’s also atop the league with 9.7 yards per attempt, 13.8 yards per completion, and a 6.5 percent touchdown rate on his throws.
This is Purdy’s first career player of the week award.
Purdy and the 49ers will try to make it three straight wins after their bye with a divisional matchup against the Seahawks on Thursday night.
