ESPN’s Mike Greenberg also tweeted out that it might be Purdy’s award, unless Josh Allen and the Bills come on top of the AFC East. Greenberg, just like David Lombardi, thinks that Prescott is out of the MVP conversation. It is undeniable that the QB came out with embarrassing numbers tonight.
Safe to say – Dak for MVP takes a huge hit with the #Cowboys today.
And #Dolphins dominant without Tyreek.
So, right now it feels like Brock Purdy’s award. #Niners
But if #Bills win AFC East, which they very well might, Josh Allen is the MVP.

It’s not just Greenberg and David who think that Purdy is a huge MVP contender. CBS also thinks that Purdy is ahead in the MVP race and Prescott doesn’t stand a chance.

Talking about the QBs, it’s only fair to mention Tua Tagovailoa, who led his team to a 30-nil win without their star player, Tyreek Hill. The 10-4 Dolphins are at the top of the AFC East, and they made it after one of the most embarrassing losses of their season.

But as far as Purdy is concerned, he is in a league of his own. From being dubbed a ‘system QB’ and ‘Mr. Irrelevant’, he led the 49ers to the top of their division. It’s finally time for these labels to go away.
Brock Purdy: On top of the league again
The 49ers’ play-caller made 16 out of his 25 passes for 242 yards and came out with a passer rating of 135.3 by the end of the game. Not to mention the 4 touchdowns. At one point, Purdy was responsible for leading his team to more than 11 straight wins in the regular season.

The road to playoffs was a bit bumpy, as he faced some disappointments here and there. It can’t be ignored that the 49ers were on a 3-game losing streak a couple of weeks ago when they lost to the Browns, the Vikings and the Cincinnati Bengals, just after the blowout game against the Dallas Cowboys.
Coincidentally, they stayed consistent in those losses as they had 17 points in each of those games. However, Purdy is where he needs to be as a young athlete. As for the 49ers, they are on the biggest win streak of the season with 6 games under their belt after tonight’s game against the Cardinals.
