Brock Purdy finds himself in an usual spot.
SAN FRANCISCO - For the first time in his short NFL career, Purdy will need to bounce back from a poor performance and a loss when the San Francisco 49ers visit the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night.Purdy had won his first 10 career regular-season starts before struggling last week in a 19-17 loss at Cleveland. He said it was tough to deal with the defeat for a couple of days, but once the team returned to practice on Thursday it was easy to move on to the game against the Vikings.
I don't think we're stressed about that too much because I've never seen a different guy.' Purdy struggled against the Browns, going 12 for 27 for 125 yards with one TD and his first interception of the season. But he also engineered a late drive that had the 49ers in position for a game-winning field goal that rookie Jake Moody missed from 41 yards out.Cleveland provided the toughest defensive test yet for Purdy, but the Vikings will offer a different challenge.
