For the better part of his young, meteoric career, Brock Purdy has been shackled to that last, reductive label. He was unheralded coming into the league as the last pick of the 2022 draft, and he went into an offensive system in San Francisco that turned mediocre, underpowered quarterbacks into stat-stacking, game-winning quarterbacks.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Brock Purdy returned to the lineup and the San Francisco 49ers scored their most points in nearly two years. While Purdy looked sharp in the 41-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, the reasons behind the big scoring output have to do with a lot more than just the change at quarterback.

Following a “frustrating” six-week absence due to a toe injury,  49ers quarterback Brock Purdy returned to the lineup in smashing fashion, tossing three touchdowns as San Francisco walloped Arizona, 41-22.

Quarterback Brock Purdy completed 19 of 26 passes for 200 yards, three touchdowns and no turnovers in the 49ers game versus the Arizona Cardinals.

Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett set an NFL record Sunday afternoon and couldn't have been less excited about it.
