Jesus is the one who deserves praise for Brock Purdy’s MVP performance
Brock Purdy has just finished yet another immaculate performance, as he led the San Francisco 49ers to a victory over the Arizona Cardinals by a score of 45-29. A quarterback rating of 135.3 was achieved by him, as he completed 16 of 25 passes for 242 yards, scored four touchdowns, and did not throw any interceptions. With a record of 11-3, the 49ers are without a doubt the most dominant club in the league. They are also in the driver’s seat to secure home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
Purdy has, in the meantime, established a significant lead over Dak Prescott of the Dallas Cowboys in the contest for Most Valuable Player. In today’s game, the Cowboys were defeated by the Buffalo Bills by a score of 31-10. The Cowboys quarterback, Dak Prescott, completed 21 of 34 passes for 134 yards, no touchdowns, and one interception, earning a rating of 57.7.
At this point, the Cowboys have a record of 10-4. Christian McCaffrey, Purdy’s colleague, is the competitor that comes closest to Purdy for the Most Valuable Player award. McCaffrey is currently in first place in the NFL in rushing with 1,177 yards and is in second place in the league with 12 touchdowns.
Purdy, who is in his second year, is frequently asked where he gets his ability to remain so calm under duress, and his response is illuminating:
“The minute you have fame, and if you’re trying to chase status and money and all this stuff, you’ll lose your life — rather than denying yourself, picking up your cross, keeping your eyes on Jesus and His promises,” Purdy added. This is life, and it is a life that is worth living. Through that, that is life. I just want to do the will of God, love my teammates and perform to the best of my ability”.
The quarterback is honest about his beliefs on the field, too. In an October Instagram post, he shared a snapshot of himself in an on-field prayer circle. His unabashed humility continues to permeate his approach to sport and life. When asked to deliver a message to his critics following another great performance, Purdy refused to bite. He responded without ego or passion, “it’s all good”.
Not only is Purdy’s play on the field has been exceptional but he is the type of person loved by his teammates 49ers.
