Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan agree that Kyle Shanahan deserves more credit for this season’s success after managing a total of 14 changes on the 49ers’ coaching staff.

It's no secret that Brock Purdy is OK in the confidence department.

So when the 49ers' rookie quarterback pulled out the high step in Saturday's NFC wild-card game against the Seattle Seahawks, you'd never know it was the 23-year-old's first career NFL playoff start.

And, unsurprisingly, Purdy's first-down move sent NFL Twitter absolutely wild.

Despite Purdy's high-stepping antics, the 49ers entered halftime at Levi's Stadium down 17-16 as they look to advance past the wild-card round.
