Dec 1, 2024 11:34 pm: Purdy completed 11 of 18 pass attempts for 94 yards while rushing twice for four yards (lost fumble) in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Purdy and the entirety of San Francisco's offense struggled to gain traction in a blistering snow storm on the road in Buffalo. The 49ers were forced to abandon the run despite playing from behind from the jump due to the harsh weather. Purdy's lone turnover was unforced when the ball slipped out of his hand on a pass attempt and derailed a drive deep in San Francisco territory. Purdy may have lost yet another key weapon after Christian McCaffrey (knee) was forced out of the contest at halftime and did not return. Purdy will benefit greatly from returning home to sunny Santa Clara, CA when the 49ers enter a soft part of the schedule against the Bears next Sunday.
