Brock Purdy says 49ers have a ‘chip on their shoulder’ entering playoffs after missing last season
After missing the playoffs last season, Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers are driven by redemption as they chase another Super Bowl appearance.
As an NFC Playoffs showdown with the Eagles looms, this is the 49ers fatal flaw that will derail their Super Bowl hopes.
The 49ers will need a better effort from their offense than the one they received against the Seahawks. San Francisco racked up only 173 total yards versus Seattle, with Purdy throwing for just 127 with no touchdowns while Christian McCaffrey gained 23 yards on eight carries. Those totals were season lows for both players.
