Brock Purdy wrapped up Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders by getting benched, but not for the reasons you might think. He was already done by the fourth quarter, after completing 17 of 25 passes for a stout 232 yards and two touchdowns, plus rumbling for another 40 yards and a score on seven carries.
When “Benched” Means “Dominant”
That’s right, folks. Purdy was out of the game because the San Francisco 49ers had it totally locked up. The dude put on a show: two passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown. His 232 yards through the air and an extra 40 on the ground meant the Niners were rolling, and backup QB Mac Jones got to finish things out. When your starter is taking an early shower because the game is “well in hand,” that’s the kind of problem every coach wants to have.
Why This Win Was Key
Honestly, Purdy did a super good job leading the Niners to another win. This performance just solidifies his spot as a bona fide QB1 in all fantasy leagues. Yeah, it’s a rival, but you gotta hand it to him, the guy is getting it done for them.
