Something would have to give during Week 1’s Monday Night Football duel as San Francisco’s Brock Purdy — among the NFL’s top-five in passes traveling 15+ yards — tested his strengths against the Jets’ similarly-elite downfield defense. Acing the test during a difficult 2nd & 19, Purdy remained calm within a clean pocket before lasering a 22-yard dime right over the heart of New York’s defense, moving the chains through a highlight play. In the 49ers’ 32-19 win on Sept. 9, 2024, Purdy’s command of the offense was superb, as he went 19-of-29, tossing for 231 yards, and adding an additional 11 yards on the ground.
