While Brock Purdy tossed four touchdown passes against the Dallas Cowboys’ vaunted defense on Sunday Night Football, Fred Warner and the San Francisco 49ers’ defensive group shut down Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb and Mike McCarthy on offense.
On his way to a sizzling performance, Warner etched his name in the early Defensive Player of the Year conversation. Warner notched eight tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and an interception against the Cowboys.
Warner became the first player to record a sack, interception and a forced fumble in the same game since Navarro Bowman in 2013. Warner has notched three Defensive Player of the Week awards in his career with his last one coming in 2020.
