Brock Purdy checked virtually every box a team wants to see its quarterback check through his five regular season starts. A big question mark lingered about how he’d respond in a playoff game. While he finished the game strong, Purdy struggled through the first half. Head coach Kyle Shanahan isn’t worried about a handful of early mistakes from his rookie signal caller.
Shanahan on Monday spoke with reporters and acknowledged that Purdy didn’t get off to a good start, but he saw enough good to outweigh the bad during the 49ers’ 41-23 blowout win over the Seahawks in the wild card game.
