Brock Purdy and the 49ers' Offense Are Off to an Efficient Start
Fred Warner said Brock Purdy is building an MVP case after a near-perfect outing with 287 passing yards and three total touchdowns.
- On Sunday, Sept. 20, 2026, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy led his team to a 35-13 victory over the Miami Dolphins, completing 20 of 22 passes for 287 yards and three total touchdowns.
- Purdy's precision, including at least 90% completion rate, has fueled early NFL MVP discussions, marking his second career game with at least 250 passing yards and that completion threshold.
- Coach Kyle Shanahan described the quarterback as "almost flawless," while linebacker Fred Warner praised Purdy's "command of the offense" and noted he was "not surprised" by the high-level play.
- San Francisco's defense recorded four sacks in the win, though the team faces roster challenges with receiver Demarcus Robinson suffering a high ankle sprain following earlier losses of Ricky Pearsall and De'Zhaun Stribling.
- The 49ers host the Arizona Cardinals next week, seeking their 10th 3-0 start in the Super Bowl era; historically, this milestone has preceded deep playoff runs for the franchise.
