Brock Purdy Is On ANOTHER Level — Ross Tucker

Are you all in on the 49ers? NFL insider Ross Tucker is, and he has the Niners at No. 1 in his power rankings for the second week in a row. The Niners look like the best team in football, but injuries keep piling up, so the real question is whether they can be healthy when it matters in January. In this conversation, Ross breaks down why Brock Purdy looks even better than he did in his top-5 MVP finish in 2023. He argues that Purdy is no longer being carried by a stacked roster. He's the one driving the offense, and he keeps producing even when key guys go down. Ross also gives a reality check: we're only three weeks into an 18-week season, and the early numbers came against defenses that aren't exactly a murderers' row. Ross also talks about why the Niners are managing Christian McCaffrey's workload, what the Nick Bosa calf injury means (and whether he jinxed it), and what to expect from a tough Denver Broncos team that keeps erasing big deficits. He closes with a look at the NFC West race and why the 1 seed could matter so much.
