49ers overreactions: Is Purdy to blame for bad loss to Chiefs? originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
The 49ers suffered another season-ending loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium.

Purdy has not even played two full years in the NFL, and he has been the 49ers’ quarterback for four playoff victories. Purdy has six touchdown passes and one interception in the postseason. He was clutch when it mattered against the Green Bay Packers and Detroit Lions in January, leading the 49ers to fourth-quarter comeback wins.
