49ers' Purdy and McCaffrey Among NFL MVP Finalists

Despite Controversy, Purdy's Efficiency and McCaffrey's Productivity Stand Out in 2023 Season

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey are among the five finalists for the 2023 NFL Most Valuable Player Award.
Purdy has been praised for his efficiency, leading the NFL with a 113.0 passer rating and throwing for 4,280 yards and 31 touchdowns.
McCaffrey leads the league in rushing yards (1,459) and yards from scrimmage (2,023), and is tied for an NFL-best 21 touchdowns from scrimmage.
Some argue that Purdy's success is due to the strong team around him, including McCaffrey and other star players.
The 49ers are set to face the Detroit Lions in the NFC Championship Game on Sunday.
