Following the San Francisco 49ers' 23-19 Wild Card victory over the Philadelphia Eagles, discussions have arisen questioning Brock Purdy's specific contribution to the win. During a trick play touchdown, Purdy made a 'business decision' to avoid blocking Eagles defensive end Jalen Carter, letting Jauan Jennings take the hit instead. Purdy expressed regret but acknowledged the safer choice, as Carter received a roughing-the-passer penalty on Jennings.
