San Francisco 49ers' quarterback Brock Purdy set a new career record with a 90.9% completion rate against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. This performance marked the second time this season that Purdy excelled, following his 90.9% completion rate in a 35-16 home win over Arizona in October 2023.
Purdy's 90.9% completion rate came after the injury of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Mike Evans. San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan praised Purdy, stating that he was "real sharp. On point. Got the ball to the right spots. He was great today." Purdy also contributed significantly to the 49ers' running game, gaining 30 yards on 10 carries, including a touchdown.
Tight end George Kittle had a notable game with four catches for 80 yards and a touchdown, showcasing the veteran roster's ability to compete again this season. The 49ers will face the Arizona Cardinals on September 27, a game that promises to be a new proving ground ahead of their big matchup against the defending Super Bowl champions, the Seattle Seahawks on October 11.
