Brock Purdy again added to his ever-growing legend during the 49ers' 30-12 win over the New York Giants on Thursday night at Levi's Stadium.
The victory moved Purdy to 8-0 in his career during the regular season, which is the third-most consecutive wins by a quarterback to begin their NFL career since 1970. The only other quarterbacks with a longer streak are Ben Roethlisberger (15 consecutive wins) and Mike Tomczak (10 consecutive wins).
Among the quarterbacks Purdy was tied with entering Thursday night's matchup with the Giants was former 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who began his career with seven consecutive wins, including five for San Francisco, to conclude the 2017 regular season.
