NFL throws out great entertainment week after week.
Except for the 6-3 stinker earlier this week...
Now that I'm a Seahawks supporter, I had to watch an highlights package of that.
And yes, There was indeed an highlights package available. Over 8 minutes long. I know I'm new to this sport and still figuring it out, but.... What...? How...? -

Interesting sub plot in the otherwise meaningless yet entertaining 49ers Lions game today:
Purdy came out injured near the end of the game and has an elbow injury to throwing shoulder - noting that 2 years ago he missed 6 months from elbow surgery to the same elbow after suffering a torn UCL.
Purdy is eligible for a huge new contract this offseason but his play this season has been poor.
I like Purdy as a dude and generally as a player but you cannot justify paying him elite $. This new injury could throw a cat amongst the pigeons.

If you pay a guy max money you should expect him to be capable of carrying the offence. Not sure Brock can based on this season

Be interesting to see where the final AFC playoff spot goes. Broncos have the advantage, being win-and-your-in and the Chiefs likely to rest Mahomes and maybe more players.
Dolphins need a Broncos loss and a win over the Jets (who specialise in pointless week 18 wins long after elimination from the playoff race).
Bengals need both Broncos and Dolphins to lose and then a win over the Steelers. Toughest path, but would be an incredible recovery from 0-3.
On the Purdy contract, he's never looked like a guy that you could sustain success while paying him top of the market money. If the 49ers were better this year I could have seen him taking tier 2 money (say 45m per year), along with a long deal and good guarantees, since he's earned so litte, but with the 49ers a bit of a rabble this year you wonder if he might be tempted to test free agency. I don't think there's really any better landing spots though.
I'd compare him to Dak Prescott. A solid, reliable QB but not able to consistently take over a game in tough situations the way the truly elite QBs can. The cowboys have had some tough years and I think there will be more in the future because of the terrible deal they gave him.

Purdy still has an extra year on his rookie deal left so he's not really in a position to test free agency.
The news today is the elbow injury for Purdy is nothing long term.
