The San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals are perfect examples of that phenomenon, and it was on display during thein Santa Clara on Sunday. Joe Burrow looks to have completely returned to form after an early-season calf injury, at one point completing 19 straight passes while Purdy struggled to lead a 49ers comeback, turning the ball over multiple times and knocking the 49ers to their third straight loss after starting the season 5-0.
"Obviously i want to be better for this team for this organization, just taking care of the ball in some crucial parts of the games," Purdy said. That's the NFL man. It comes down to it, you're not just gonna blow teams out every week. You've gotta take care of the ball, and you've gotta play good team football."
The truth of the matter is the 49ers are successful because of the infrastructure around Purdy, which includes weapons like George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey, and the defense is also a big piece of that. If they aren’t going to be able to play up to their standard, they’re only putting pressure on Purdy and he might not be ready to handle that just yet..
