For each game he broadcasts during the 2024 NFL season all the way through Super Bowl LIX, FOX Sports lead NFL analyst Tom Brady is awarding his LFG Player of the Game to that one player he sees on the field who makes him say …
“LET’S F***ING GO!!!”
In Week 10, that honor went to San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, who powered the 49ers offense to a 23-20 nail-biter win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That victory put the defending NFC champion 49ers (5-4) above .500 for the first time since Week 1. Check out Brady’s full conversation with Purdy here:
Tom Brady’s LFG Player of the Game: 49ers’ Brock Purdy | Week 10 DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE
While Purdy waited until late in the game to make some truly highlight-reel plays, Brady still marveled at the “quiet” 353 pass yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions on a 69.4% completion rate that Purdy put on the stat sheet.
The first of those highlight plays for Purdy came thanks to Christian McCaffrey, who made his season debut after missing the 49ers’ first eight games due to Achilles tendinitis. On a key drive with the Buccaneers’ pass rush bearing down on him, Purdy threw a looping deep pass to McCaffrey that the All-Pro running back caught and turned upfield for a big gain. Both the throw and catch left an impression on Brady.
“Those are reps and routes that we’ve run the last couple years with him one-on-one with the linebacker,” Purdy said. “We had a free [pass-rusher] come through, but Christian and I, man, like he hadn’t been playing, obviously, the first half of the season, but that’s a route that we’ve sunk back to the last couple years. And I was like, ‘He’s supposed to be right here.’
“And sure enough, he stutter[-stepped] the guy, and it was right over the top, and he was where he was supposed to be. So that’s just a timing thing we’ve had the last couple years. I’m glad to have him back.”
