Typically, four-interception performances don't leave a quarterback with much to feel good about.

However, after sitting down with his teammates and coaches and reliving his Christmas Day meltdown in the San Francisco 49ers' loss to the Baltimore Ravens, Brock Purdy was left feeling encouraged.

Purdy saw an MVP case that lacked any huge holes develop some substantial warts in a turnover-laden display, enduring some dreadful luck with tipped passes after an initial awful decision on his first pick on an endzone shot to Deebo Samuel as the Ravens' defense demonstrated why it is the second-ranked unit by DVOA.

Yet instead of struggling for answers as to why things went so badly for him and the offense, Purdy expressed encouragement after reviewing the tape from his worst game as a pro.

"I feel like our game plan was good just in terms of what we wanted to get done," Purdy told his press conference on Thursday. 

"It was just the execution part of it that I feel like I didn’t do a good enough job. I think our mindset and everything going into it was good, but I fell short in terms of making it happen. 

"So when we watched the film and stuff, our plays were there, there was plays to be made there. We felt good getting through the film and going, man, we were right there and we had everything I feel like dialed up pretty good. I just didn’t execute well. 

"So yeah, if we see them again down the road, obviously we’d be excited to play them and all that, but we’re just taking it one day at a time and we’ll see how it all goes."

Purdy's assessment does tally with the numbers from the 49ers' 33-19 defeat. San Francisco had 429 net yards to Baltimore's 343 and averaged 6.3 yards per play to the Ravens' 5.4.

The Niners racked up 236 of those yards in the first half but saw two drives on which they moved into Baltimore territory end in picks as Purdy tossed three interceptions in the first half.

Getting the explosive plays required on offense was not the issue for the San Francisco attack and, while there will be understandable questions about Purdy's resilience and the health of the offensive line, this was not a defeat that revealed deep-rooted issues for the offense. Instead, it was largely a story of what might have been had a few bounces of the ball gone the other way.

As the Niners look to learn the lessons from their first loss in seven games, that is a much better position in which to reside.

Brock Purdy’s biggest concern for Week 17 has nothing to do with his shoulder

There’s more change he doesn’t need.
