Brock Purdy

Brock Purdy completed 18-of-26 passes for 260 yards and one touchdown in the 49ers’ 30-24, Week 8 victory over the Cowboys, adding 56 yards and a touchdown on eight carries.

Seven of Purdy’s eight carries came on scrambles as he consistently kept drives alive with his legs, a much needed offensive spark considering both Jordan Mason and Deebo Samuel failed to finish the game with injuries. Purdy’s lone touchdown pass went to tight end George Kittle in a third quarter dominated by the 49ers. After entering the break down 10-6, San Francisco rattled off three consecutive touchdowns in the third quarter to take a commanding 27-10 lead into the final frame, ultimately enough to hold off a ferocious comeback attempt from the Cowboys. The 49ers improve to 4-4 and find themselves tied with the Cardinals atop the surprisingly tight NFC West, a division with all four teams within 0.5 games of each other. San Francisco heads to their bye week in Week 9 before traveling to Tampa to face the Buccaneers.
