In a thrilling NFC divisional playoff round, quarterback Brock Purdy displayed resilience as he led the San Francisco 49ers to a 24-21 victory over the Green Bay Packers at Levi's Stadium. Despite facing challenges posed by the weather conditions, Purdy showed determination and adaptability throughout the game.

At the start of the match, Purdy opted to wear a glove on his throwing hand due to the inclement weather. However, as the rain intensified, he made the decision to remove the glove, aiming to regain his usual accuracy. Even though the wet ball affected his grip and contributed to some inaccuracies, Purdy remained focused on finding a solution.

Purdy acknowledged the impact of the rain on his performance, stating, "There were some times when I was dropping back and the ball was wet from the grass and sort of affected some accuracy and stuff, but that's football. I got to be better in that area." Despite these challenges, Purdy completed 23 of his 39 passes for 252 yards, including a crucial 32-yard touchdown pass to tight end George Kittle.

As a seasoned quarterback with experience playing games in inclement weather during his tenure at Iowa State, Purdy demonstrated his ability to perform under pressure and rise to the occasion. With a trip to the NFC Championship Game on the line, Purdy showcased his best performance when it mattered the most.

The 49ers' victory can be attributed in part to Purdy's leadership and resilience, as well as the team's ability to adapt to challenging weather conditions. The win sets the stage for an exciting matchup in the upcoming NFC Championship Game and further solidifies Purdy's status as a determined and talented quarterback.

As the 49ers continue their playoff journey, fans can look forward to witnessing more impressive performances from Purdy and the team as they strive for a chance at the Super Bowl.
