The San Francisco linebacker heaped praise on the rookie quarterback.
After trailing 14–13 at halftime, the 49ers used a strong second half paced by rookie quarterback Brock Purdy to roll over the Seahawks 41–23 to advance to the NFC Divisional round.
Purdy, who went from being selected last in the draft to starting for the 49ers at quarterback since mid-December, shook off a rocky first half to lead the offense to multiple second half touchdown drives to pull away from the Seahawks.
His play drew the praise of star linebacker Fred Warner after the game.

Saturday’s basketball game between Baylor and Oklahoma State took a lot longer than expected to complete. A power outage caused the entire thing to be put on pause, which led to an odd sequence of events.
Not long after the Bears went up by 20 on the Pokes, the lights went out. There was no warning, it was not planned, they just shut off and left everybody at the Ferrell Center in a state of confusion.
The players stayed on the court, but obviously the game could not continue.
Trevor Lawrence has thrown 3 interceptions in the 1st quarter and the Chargers have taken advantage as Austin Ekeler has found the end zone twice.
Lawrence was picked off twice in the first five minutes of the game, as the Chargers got out to a 10-0 lead.
Take a closer look at Deebo Samuel’s 74-yard touchdown, and you can see everything that makes San Francisco so dangerous.
Watch Deebo Samuel’s 74-yard touchdown during the 49ers’ 41–23 wild-card win over the Seahawks again. Pause it 1.5 seconds in, while Brock Purdy is whipping a fake toss to his right side. There are nine defensive players in plain view, six of them are barreling toward Christian McCaffrey, all at once entranced with and terrified by the proposition of his getting another touch.
Here it is, so you can follow along:
Pause it again, this time after three seconds.
Brock Purdy lit up the Seahawks in the second half of the 49ers’ big win, which led to LeBron James giving the rookie QB a shout out on Twitter.
The Falcons have reportedly hit a roadblock with their first target to take on their vacant defensive coordinator position.
Three point shooting has never been more important in the NBA, and LeBron James has never been worse at it.
James has a 28.5% three point shooting percentage this season, placing him dead last in the league.
Despite his best efforts, the Lakers are once again struggling this season, something LeBron claims doesn’t bother him.
But while his overall numbers have been typically outstanding, it certainly hasn’t helped the Lakers performance. They’re dead last in the Pacific Division, and far behind the conference leading Denver Nuggets.
