They say a week is a long time in football, and that rang true for Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers, who ran into a buzzsaw against the Cleveland Browns a week after defeating the Dallas Cowboys 42-10.
Purdy had a career day against the Cowboys, as he tossed four touchdown passes, but he came crashing back to earth with an almighty thud against a stout Browns defense.
San Francisco struggled to get going throughout the game and fans had fun at Purdy's expense.
"Love to see it! He a product of Kyle system," one fan said.

Other fans gave their two cents on Purdy's struggles against the Browns.
Many fans took great delight in Purdy's struggles against Cleveland, and while he has been a star quarterback through the first five weeks, he had an odd game against the Browns.
Brock Purdy back to earth with a thud against Browns
Prior to his attempt at the game-winning drive, after the Browns kicked a field goal with under two minutes left, Purdy had completed just nine of his 20 passes for 82 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
That kind of stat line was a far cry from his superb performance against Dallas last week. Without Christian McCaffrey and Deebo Samuel, Purdy had an incredibly tough time getting anything going for the 49ers offense, as he looked like a shadow of the player who torched the Cowboys last week.
Coming off such a big and emotional game, naturally, there was going to be a letdown, and Brock Purdy definitely had that, but he was also without his two key offensive weapons.
For the first time this season, Brock Purdy looked like a mere mortal.
