"Brock Purdy showed all the right moves Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. He dodged and scrambled away from pressure, doing a nice pirouette when necessary to avoid sacks. He correctly read an option play at the goal line and converted it into a 2-yard touchdown run. And then Purdy, a straight arrow if there ever was one, even broke out The Dougie, a hip-hop dance move that dates back to rapper Doug E. Fresh in the 1980s."
"For one afternoon with temperatures in the 30s and wind approaching 40 miles per hour, turf toe was a distant memory and the 49ers finished the last game before their bye with a 9-4 record and four games to play. So Purdy figured a celebration was in order. I've always been able to Dougie, but haven't done it publicly, Purdy said. My wife, she could tell you. I annoy her in the kitchen. That's where I got my practice."
Brock Purdy evaded pressure, scrambled effectively, and converted a goal-line option into a 2-yard touchdown run. He celebrated by doing The Dougie after the 49ers' 26-8 road win over the Cleveland Browns. Cold, windy conditions and previous turf-toe concerns did not limit him; he played without a glove or toe insert and showed enough arm strength in poor passing conditions. Teammates praised the dance and his performance, noting he practiced the move and intended to celebrate. The victory improved the 49ers to 9-4 before their bye. Purdy's play provided a strong response to recent criticism and interceptions.
