Week 7 of the 2024 NFL season will feature an exciting matchup in California. The Kansas City Chiefs will visit the San Francisco 49ers, and now Chiefs’ defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo has made a surprising admission about Brock Purdy ahead of the game.

Two powerhouses will meet midseason at Levi’s Stadium. The Chiefs are considered favorites to win the Super Bowl for a third year in a row, with Patrick Mahomes continuing to build on his already impressive legacy.

On the other side, the 49ers have shown improvement in recent years but still seem to be lacking the dominance that many expect from them. They have a remarkable roster, but success has yet to arrive.

Purdy’s skills are evident, and the Chiefs are well aware. Steve Spagnuolo, the team’s defensive coordinator, has praised the former Iowa State standout, making a shocking statement: Purdy may be unstoppable.

“It’s going to start up front and stopping the run, and hopefully, we can get the quarterback not to be in timing like he is because I can’t find a weakness in this quarterback,” Spagnuolo said Thursday, via David Bonilla of 49erswebzone.com. “Every time I put the film on, I’m more and more impressed.”

San Francisco is likely to consider an extension after the 2024 season, especially if Purdy continues to perform well. If he maintains his high level of play, he could position himself for a significant pay raise, potentially becoming one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks.
