It was an impressive night for Brock Purdy in the 49ers' 21-13 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday, and his PFF grades give even more insight on his performance.
The entire 49ers' roster impressed at Lumen Field but Purdy, who was gutting it out through oblique and rib injuries, had a stellar performance one of the most hostile environments in the NFL.
Coach Kyle Shanahan believes that Purdy’s maturity seems well beyond his years.

“Even him being unsure of whether he'd be able to go or not, I think that was uneasy for him because he didn't know what to expect until he got in the game. Under the circumstances, we didn't have any other options or choice, but he got comfortable and got better as the game went. It was pretty unbelievable."
Purdy completed 17 of his 26 attempts for 217 yards, threw two touchdown passes and was on the field for all 64 offensive plays. The Iowa State product's ability to play at a high level through his injuries to help lead the 49ers to a NFC West-clinching win earned Purdy even more respect from his teammates and coaches.
