"As I've played you start to learn and feed off the backs-against-the-wall mentality, of everybody there wants you to fail and all you have is your sideline, your team and The Faithful that travels, Purdy said Wednesday. It's a mentality that everybody's out against us and we have to defend ourselves and fight, Purdy added. I've sort of learned as I've played, I really do like it. A lot of guys in the locker room do. If you're in the NFL, you're going to love that challenge."
"*Dec. 15, 2022 (21-13): Purdy won his road debut while overcoming a fractured rib from the previous game, when he replaced Jimmy Garoppolo in a win over Miami. *Nov. 23, 2023 (31-13): Thanksgiving night saw how high powered the 49ers were en route to the NFC's No. 1 seed, while Purdy passed for 209 yards, his lowest output yet in Seattle. *Oct. 10, 2024 (36-24): Purdy threw for 255 yards with three touchdown passes and no interceptions, leveling the 49ers' record at 3-3 before second-half collapse had them 6-11 by season's end. *Sept. 7, 2025 (17-13): Purdy rolled right and lobbed a 4-yard touchdown pass that Jake Tonges miraculously snagged with 1 minutes remaining. That capped Purdy's 277-yard season debut that included a touchdown pass on the 95-yard opening drive to George Kittle, who was gone by halftime with a hamstring injury."
