This underdog isn’t just barking; he’s biting. Purdy is on a roll, scoring touchdowns like it’s a breeze and leaving his quarterback rivals in the dust.

Lamar who? Brock Purdy leaves Jackson in the dust.

Since he stepped into the starting quarterback spotlight, Brock Purdy has been playing like he’s got a pocket full of magic beans. Currently sitting pretty at the top of the NFL charts with a QBR of 77.6, he’s practically a pigskin maestro. Sunday night’s showdown was basically a showcase of his gridiron prowess. Four touchdown passes? Check. A dazzling 148.8 passer rating? Double-check. The 49ers’ 42-19 victory over the Eagles wasn’t just a win; it was a Purdy party, and everyone was invited.
