San Francisco has its answer at quarterback
It didn’t well for Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, but in the big picture, the franchise has its answer at the game’s most important position.
The 49ers’ spunky rookie left the game in the first quarter at the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC championship game after getting hit on the right elbow and losing a fumble on a planned pass play. At halftime, San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan told the broadcast that Purdy would not be able to return.

The NFC Championship between the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers wasn’t much of a contest. Niners QB Brock Purdy was injured on the second play of the game and the Niners’ offensive issues spiraled from there, with Philadelphia opening up a huge lead.

Philadelphia’s defense overpowered San Francisco and the Eagles’ running game scored four TDs on the ground in a convincing NFC championship game win.

“I talked to Tom a little bit, I have a good relationship with him now,” Mahomes said. “He gives me a lot of advice. Why would you not want to learn from the GOAT, man? Anytime anybody like that wants to give me advice, I’ll take it in.”
