Shanahan's Sarcastic Praise for Purdy's Simple Play vs. Titans Revealed

49ers coach Kyle Shanahan revealed he sarcastically praised quarterback Brock Purdy during their 37-24 win over the Titans for completing a simple 3-yard pass to fullback Kyle Juszczyk. Shanahan admitted the "proud" comment was intended to "piss him off," as Purdy frequently bypasses this safe option for deeper throws, having failed to execute it against the Browns in Week 13. The play resulted in a 7-yard gain on second-and-6, and three plays later, Purdy connected with George Kittle for a touchdown.
