Kyle Shanahan Praises Brock Purdy's Composure Ahead of Seahawks Matchup
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan commends quarterback Brock Purdy's unflappable nature as the team prepares for a crucial game against the Seattle Seahawks.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan has lauded quarterback Brock Purdy's ability to maintain composure under pressure, particularly in challenging environments like Seattle's Lumen Field. Purdy has led the 49ers to four consecutive victories in Seattle, demonstrating resilience in the face of the stadium's notorious noise levels.
"I think the big thing is that Brock doesn't get rattled," Shanahan told reporters. "You can be as loud as you want, they're still probably not going to hear you there. Especially if you're in the gun. And then we know they'll be that much louder this week. But I think it's nothing really rattles Brock. He stays the same."
Purdy's record in Seattle includes a 21-13 win in Week 15 of 2022, a 31-13 victory on Thanksgiving night in 2023, a 36-24 triumph in Week 6 of 2024, and a 17-13 win to open the 2025 season.
As the 49ers prepare for their upcoming game against the Seahawks, Shanahan emphasized Purdy's consistent demeanor, regardless of game outcomes. He highlighted Purdy's response to adversity, noting that even after setbacks, the quarterback remains steady and focused.
"That's what I thought was so impressive, having that interception with like eight minutes to go, we lose the lead and the way he came back and played the next drive after that is the perfect example of that," Shanahan said.
The 49ers are set to face the Seahawks on Saturday night, with Purdy aiming to extend his winning streak in Seattle.
