Brock Purdy endured one of the worst nights of his career on Christmas Day, on New Year’s Eve, he was able to celebrate a remarkable achievement.
Purdy threw for 230 yards as the 49ers eased to a 27-10 win over the Washington Commanders, that tally seeing Purdy set the record for the most single-season passing yards in 49ers franchise history.
The final pick of last year's draft now has 4,280 yards in an utterly remarkable campaign and was given more reason to celebrate as the Arizona Cardinals' win over the Philadelphia Eagles saw the 49ers clinch the one seed in the NFC, giving them a first-round bye and homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
He achieved that feat just five days on from throwing four interceptions in San Francisco’s Monday Night Football loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
An efficient but largely unspectacular performance, which saw Purdy throw touchdowns to Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk, won’t be enough to erase the memory of that huge disappointment.
However, his history-making performance at FedEx Field was a welcome reminder of just how incredible Purdy’s first full season as the 49ers’ starter has been.
