The 49ers have another road matchup in Week 2 against the rival Los Angeles Rams in SoCal. After that, their Week 3 home opener comes on Sept. 21 when they host the New York Giants at Levi's Stadium.
Purdy's rookie uprise began in Week 13 against the Miami Dolphins last season. He led the 49ers to eight straight wins before San Francisco's heartbreaking NFC Championship Game loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Many questioned if the young quarterback's success would carry over into the new season, and so far, Purdy's holding up just fine. It's still early, of course, but it didn't take long for the 23-year-old to already find himself in some elite company.
