Under Kyle Shanahan’s shadow, the team has finally grabbed their NFC championship spot. In his previous four seasons, the head coach had reached the playoffs. But in the third playoff, they failed to win the Super Bowl against the Chiefs. But this time, the team is performing well. Moreover, Brock Purdy was a standout performer on the team. And today’s stunning win proves that. The quarterback led the team to the twelve-play and 69-yard touchdown drive in the fourth quarter and advanced to the NFC championship with an incredible 24-21 victory over the Packers.

Interestingly, despite giving so much to the game, the quarterback gets backlash. One such instance is when former Raiders executive Amy Trask refused to consider him a terrific QB and considered him the only “good quarterback.”However, there are some of his supporters as well. Today itself, former quarterback Robert Griffin took his X account to take a stand for the seasoned quarterback and showed his frustration with the hate that Purdy gets. Furthermore, he found Purdy’s underdog story inspiring and felt lucky to have him on the team.

However, not only Purdy but other teammates also showed their jaw-dropping performances.

The 49ers had an indomitable performance!
