Brock Purdy Nominated for FedEx Air Player of Week 13
The San Francisco 49ers earned another win on the road, defeating the Philadelphia Eagles 42-19 in Sunday’s Week 13 contest. A big reason for San Francisco’s offensive success was Brock Purdy’s outstanding performance.
The second-year quarterback emerged from the contest connecting 19-of-27 pass attempts for 314 yards, four touchdowns to zero interceptions and a 148.8 passer rating. His impressive stat line from Sunday has earned him a nomination for FedEx Air Player of Week 13.
Purdy has completed 70.2 percent of his passes for 3,185 yards, 23 touchdowns and a 116.1 passer rating this season, leading the league in completion percentage, yards per attempt (9.6) and passer rating.
The FedEx Air and Ground NFL Players of the Week awards have been a weekly performance honor for quarterbacks and running backs over the last three decades. After a player is nominated, weekly winners are selected by fans via an online vote. For the 2023-2024 NFL season, the award sponsor will work with the Thurgood Marshall College Fund to make donations of $2,000 in the name of the winning quarterback and running back ($4,000 total) to Historically Black Colleges and Universities across the country.
