NFL Sports Blog Take
Brock Purdy’s 20-for-22 passing with a rushing touchdown earned him NFC Offensive Player of the Week and highlighted the 49ers’ offensive efficiency in the 35-13 win. The additions of Naquan Jones, Brandin Cooks and Viliami Fehoko Jr. provide the club with added depth across the defensive line and at receiver. Placing C.J. West on injured reserve reduces immediate interior defensive-line options, which makes the recent moves more consequential. With a home game against the Cardinals on Sunday, the 49ers will rely on that depth as they move into Week 3.
