Cyclones In the NFL: Week 15

Purdy Week 15

Brock Purdy was electric in the 49ers' 45-29 win over the Cardinals. Purdy threw for 242 yards and four touchdowns while completing 64 percent of his passes.

Sunday's win marked the third time this season that Purdy has thrown four touchdowns and the eighth game this season where he has not thrown an interception. Purdy's play has been a huge reason why the 49ers are 11-3 and have secured the NFC West division with three games to go, the earliest any team in the NFL has clinched a division title this season.

Among NFL quarterbacks, Purdy is second in passing yards, while leading the league in passing touchdowns, passer rating and QBR.

It's just too easy for the MVP‼️🎯
