Former NFL quarterback Cam Newton raised eyebrows earlier in December when he labeled San Francisco 49ers star Brock Purdy as a “game manager” rather than a “difference maker.”
Purdy, who entered the 49ers’ Christmas Day tilt against the Baltimore Ravens as the NFL MVP favorite, had a nightmarish evening during which he threw three interceptions in the first half alone, and quickly added a fourth to his tally early into the third quarter.
After Purdy’s third pick of the game, Newton took to X, formerly Twitter, to take a jab at San Francisco’s quarterback.
