Overview
- On Sunday Purdy completed 20 of 22 passes for 287 yards, threw two touchdown passes, rushed for a score and posted a 149.1 passer rating in the 49ers’ 35-13 win over the Miami Dolphins.
- He became the first player in NFL history to complete at least 90 percent of his passes while throwing for at least 285 yards and two passing touchdowns and scoring a rushing touchdown in the same game.
- The NFC named Purdy Offensive Player of the Week for Week 2, his third weekly honor and a mark that places him alongside franchise greats who have earned multiple weekly awards.
- Through two games Purdy has an 80.4 percent completion rate with 492 yards, five touchdowns, one interception and a 125.6 passer rating, and he now holds the most games with a 130.0+ and 140.0+ passer rating in any quarterback’s first five seasons.
- Purdy’s play has softened longtime criticism and shown the 49ers can sustain offensive efficiency despite the loss of projected receivers Ricky Pearsall and De'Zhaun Stribling and the Week 2 injury to Demarcus Robinson, while an intentional grounding call late in the game drew visible sideline frustration but did not affect the outcome.
