The San Francisco 49ers got their 8th win of the season against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. But their quarterback, Brock Purdy, was intercepted three times, his most in a single game in 2025. As expected, it affected his confidence during the game. He also talked about it during the post-game conference. “It’s tough. Mentality as a quarterback, you want to play aggressively, you want to take what the defense gives you, but when you turn the ball over three drives in a row, you feel the pressure,” Purdy said. “Obviously, I don’t want to have that kind of performance.” Those first-half interceptions also put head coach Kyle Shanahan in a tough spot. Reporters asked him if he thought of benching Brock Purdy and starting Mac Jones. There was no hesitation in his reply. “No,” the head coach said. It’s clear! The Niners still believe in their young leader. Stay tuned! There’s more to this story.
