Brock Purdy

Brock Purdy completed 11-of-18 passes for 94 yards in the 49ers’ 35-10, Week 13 loss to the Bills, adding four yards on two carries.

Purdy and the San Francisco offense struggled to move the football throughout but were dealt a crushing blow five minutes into the second quarter when All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey departed with a knee injury after giving himself up behind the line of scrimmage. The modest 18 pass attempts from Purdy highlighted both the tricky weather conditions and a general inability to move the football against the aggressive Buffalo defense. The 49ers fell to 5-7 and are now two games behind the Seahawks for the division lead with only five games left to play. Up next for the 49ers is a similarly downtrodden Bears team in Week 14, a game they might now have to play without McCaffrey.
