Brock Purdy has been the man of the week. Before playing against the Bucs, the rookie quarterback had been dubbed Mr Irrelevant. However, after the 49ers handed out a crushing defeat, Purdy’s name became associated with the upstart. As Tom Brady came back to his hometown to try and get a nostalgic win, Purdy, along with the rest of the 49ers, stopped him.

Purdy had a great game, and there was speculation of him winning the Player of the Week for the NFC. However, the award wasn’t given to him. NFC’s Offensive Player of The Week was Baker Mayfield. However, fans were very persistent that Purdy was robbed. Furthermore, they firmly believed that Purdy deserved the award after his performance against the Bucs.
