The San Francisco 49ers are heading into their bye week rocking a 6-1 record, and honestly, the rest of the NFC West better take notice. They just had a bit of a stumble against the Atlanta Falcons, dropping that one 29-20, but don’t let that fool you. These guys have been tearing it up, including a 32-29 win over our very own Seattle Seahawks back in Week 5 that still stings a bit.
Purdy’s MVP Push Has Them Rolling
You gotta admit, even if it pains you, Brock Purdy is making a serious case for MVP. The dude’s got 15 touchdown passes and his QBR is sitting at 79.6, which is second best in the whole darn NFL. That kind of production is why they’ve racked up wins like 27-7 over the Rams, 35-13 against the Dolphins, and a 36-30 shootout with the Cardinals. They even handled the Broncos 24-14 and the Commanders 23-17. It’s been a stellar year for them so far, and it’s clear they are gunning for that potential No. 1 seed in the NFC. That’s a target on their backs, for sure.
Raiders Up Next, Then a Date With Destiny (Again)
After their week off, the 49ers are back home on Sunday, November 8, at 4:05 p.m. ET to host the Las Vegas Raiders at Levi’s Stadium. The Raiders started strong at 3-0, but they’ve dropped their last four games, so this looks like a prime opportunity for San Fran to get back on track. If you’re thinking about catching that game, prepare your wallet: tickets start at $432, with 100-level seats in Section 125 hitting $617. Clearly, their fans believe in the hype.
But here’s the real talk for us 12s: we get another shot at these guys. The 49ers’ schedule shows them coming to Seattle on Sunday, November 29, at 4:25 p.m. ET. You better believe our boys will be ready to give them a much different welcome than Levi’s Stadium. They also face the Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, and a couple more against the Rams and Cardinals later in the season. That Week 12 matchup against us? That’s the one everyone in the Emerald City is circling. We’ve seen what Purdy can do, and we saw what it cost us last time. This time, it’s personal.
