Brock Purdy Gets First Playoff Win In 2024

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy completed a fourth-quarter 24-21 comeback win in Saturday night's Divisional Round matchup against the Green Bay Packers. At times, Purdy appeared to struggle with accuracy in the rainy conditions but made enough crucial throws to earn the victory. He finished 23-for-39 for 252 yards and one touchdown. Purdy didn't throw an interception in this one, though a poor decision in the first quarter led to an easy pick bouncing off a Green Bay defender's hands. Later, trailing in the fourth quarter Purdy skillfully led the 49ers on a 12-play, 69-yard game-winning drive, a box he had failed to check off in each of his late comeback attempts this season. Next week, Purdy will either face the Detroit Lions or Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home in the NFC Championship Game.
