San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Brock Purdy has been delivering exceptional performances, completing 74% of his passes traveling at least 15 yards in the air, averaging 24.6 yards per attempt with 6 TDs and 0 INTs over the past five games. His season average of 9.9 yards per attempt is the highest in NFL history through a team’s first 13 games. Since returning from the Week 9 bye, Purdy has accumulated 1,520 yards and 13 TDs with just two INTs in five games. He leads the NFL in completion percentage at 70.2%. Purdy's counting stats are also impressive, ranking 2nd in passing yards and tied for 2nd in TD passes. His 368 yards passing against the Seahawks marked a career high. Purdy's efficiency metrics are also outstanding, leading in various categories such as EPA/dropback and yards/attempt on throws at different air yards levels. He has completed 65.9% of his deep passes, leading the league by a wide margin. In the recent game against the Seahawks, Purdy finished 16-of-25 for 242 yards with 4 TDs and 0 INTs, bringing his total passing touchdowns for the season to 29, the most by a 49ers QB since 2001. Purdy's consistent high completion rate has put him in elite company, with a streak of completing at least 70% of passes in 7 straight games, just one shy of Joe Montana's single-season record set in 1989. His performance has sparked MVP talk, and he has expressed gratitude for the consideration.
