Breaking News: Spoiled’ Brock Purdy’s Clear Message to Patrick Mahomes After 49ers Teammates Gave QB Harsh Reality Check….See More

It’s been more than a year since Super Bowl LVIII, where Brock Purdy’s 49ers went toe-to-toe against already two-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes’ Chiefs.

What was supposed to be revenge for Super Bowl LIV quickly turned into a familiar sinking feeling for the Niners. Like they had already witnessed, Mahomes overcame a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter 5 years ago to claim the Lombardi. However, little did they know it would happen again, leaving them crushed from within.

And that loss in Vegas was so devastating—Purdy still has the game replaying in his head. Saying to himself, What if?

See, then-sophomore QB Purdy was coming into his first Super Bowl after finishing the regular season with a league-high 113 passing rating. And you know what? He kept that momentum going.

His final numbers on the night were 22-of-38 passes for 255 yards, one TD, no turnovers, and just one sack. Still, he couldn’t lead the 49ers to that all-elusive Super Bowl win. Why? Because of his mistakes and, of course, Mahomes’ magic.

Remembering that night from a year ago, Purdy on Build 4 more podcast said, “It’s like dude what could have been you know like in our eyes we’re a couple plays away and you give them a chance at the end and overtime and he did..

what everybody expected Pat mahomes to do is go score and stuff.” So, here’s what happened. Late into the game, there were a couple of plays where Purdy couldn’t convert field goals into TDs.

First, he came up short at the Chiefs’ 9-yard line, then on 3rd-and-5, the Niners settled for a field goal. Those botched TD drives proved to be costly for the 49ers.

Seeing an opportunity open up, Mahomes wasn’t going to let it go cold, was he? Even after throwing an interception early into the second half. Mahomes was simply unstoppable after that.

Coming back from 10-3 at halftime, Mahomes got the Chiefs into overtime. 13 plays and 75 yards later, Pat found veteran receiver Mecole Hardman for the game-winning TD.

And just like the 49ers, yet again, found themselves rueing missed opportunities.

As for Purdy, who made the Super Bowl in just his second year in the league, he didn’t know what was coming. From considering himself lucky, the 49ers QB was set for a brutal reality check from his locker room.
