Sensational rookie quarterback Brock Purdy is’ thankful’ after his San Francisco 49ers defeated the Dallas Cowboys to advance to the NFC Championship Game.
On Sunday night, the 49ers sent the Cowboys crashing out of the postseason with a 19-12 win at Levi’s Stadium. The vaunted San Francisco defence led the team to the victory as they snatched a pair of interceptions from quarterback Dak Prescott.
In the win, 49ers rookie signal-caller Purdy struggled against the Cowboys’ own dominant defensive unit, but he still got the job done. The 23-year-old - who became the first rookie quarterback to win on his playoff debut since Russell Wilson in 2012 - threw for 214 yards to continue his unbeaten start to his professional career.
