Brock Purdy's Big Night, Big Mistakes

Brock Purdy started strong in the 49ers' Monday night game. He led a long drive that ended with a touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings. But then things went downhill fast. On his next three drives, Purdy threw interceptions. Two of those picks gave the Panthers great field position. Luckily, the 49ers' defense kept the Panthers from scoring more than three points off those turnovers. The 49ers won 20-9, but those interceptions were a big worry. After the game, Purdy talked about his throws. He said he made good decisions but needed to put more power behind his passes. People wondered if his toe injury, which kept him out for eight games, was a factor. Purdy quickly shut that down. He said his toe felt fine and the interceptions were just about timing and anticipation. Coach Kyle Shanahan agreed that Purdy was a bit off on his throws. He said Purdy was "a hair late" with his passes. The 49ers need to fix that soon. Their next game is against the Browns, who have a tough defense. They just had a game with 10 sacks. The 49ers can't afford more mistakes like that. Purdy's performance was a mix of good and bad. He started well but made some costly errors. The 49ers need him to be more consistent, especially with a tough game coming up. The Browns' defense is no joke, and the 49ers need to be sharp to win.
