Brock Purdy and the 49ers need to bounce back

Brock Purdy: San Francisco 49ers v Cleveland Browns

The 49ers suffered a shocking loss to the Cleveland Browns last week and faced a lot of criticism. Quarterback Brock Purdy finally lost a regular-season game, and he needs to lead his team back to winning ways.

The Vikings haven't played well so far this season, and the 49ers could very easily win this game if they don't commit turnovers. Purdy's name was brought up in MVP discussions last week, but with the loss to the Browns, people have stopped hyping him.

The 49ers quarterback has thrown for 1,396 yards, 10 touchdowns, and one interception in six games this season with a passer rating of 111.9. It will be interesting to see how he fares without Trent Williams and Deebo Samuel tonight.
