Brock Purdy's take on Patrick Mahomes before the Super Bowl

Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers will face Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 2024. In the 58th edition of the big game, there’s a lot at stake for Kyle Shanahan’s team.

First of all, the 49ers could join the New England Patriots and the Pittsburgh Steelers as the winningest franchise in history by hoisting their sixth Vince Lombardi trophy.

Then, there’s obviously the ‘revenge’ factor. Mahomes started to build his legacy in the NFL by beating San Francisco four years ago in a thrilling Super Bowl. From that moment on, he became the natural heir of Tom Brady. However, Purdy is ready to stop the birth of a new dynasty.

“I mean, what a challenge. You’ve got Mahomes and what he does and their team, they’re special. They’re winners. They’ve proven that over however many years he’s been there.”
