Brock Purdy is leading the NFL’s MVP race right now, and if you’re like any 12 trying to forget that sickening road loss at Lumen Field last week, you’re probably already sick of hearing it. The 49ers quarterback clearly took his game to another level during that thrilling road win over our Seahawks on October 11, 2026, and he has just kept on rolling.
Dude’s Numbers Are Actually Insane
Look, it’s tough to admit when a rival is cooking, but Purdy is on another level. While he hasn’t played faultless football, his consistency through five games has been a picture. He’s leading the entire NFL in passing touchdowns with 13, a crazy 57.9% success rate, and an 85.5 QBR. Plus, he’s tied with Lamar Jackson for first in adjusted EPA per play. Yeah, he had a few more issues against the Denver Broncos and against *our* Seahawks, but he’s been ridiculously consistent. How do you even fight that?
Monday Night, More History? Ugh.
Now, this guy has a chance to make history when the 49ers host the Washington Commanders on Monday Night Football to round off Week 6. Purdy has multiple touchdowns and a passer rating of at least 90 in *all five* of his games so far this season. If he keeps that run going against Washington, he will become the only player in NFL history within their first five career seasons to record multiple touchdown passes and a passer rating of 90 or higher in their team’s first six games of a season. The signs unfortunately point to another profitable game for him, especially against a Washington defense that ranks 23rd in EPA per play and 25th in dropback EPA per play. San Francisco does have some wide receiver injuries, with Deebo Samuel missing his reunion with the Commanders due to a hamstring injury. But with Mike Evans in devastatingly effective form and George Kittle hopefully free of the illness he battled through when they were in Seattle, the Niners’ offense still looks plenty good enough for Purdy to capture that piece of history.
So yeah, get ready for another Monday Night Football spectacle where this guy is probably going to make history and, more importantly for them, deliver San Francisco’s sixth straight win. For us 12s, it’s just another reminder of that Lumen Field loss. Here’s hoping the Commanders pull off an upset, because seeing Purdy make more history after beating us… well, that’s just a bridge too far.
