The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/detroit-lions" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Detroit Lions</a> aspire to reach their first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>. To achieve this, they must defeat the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> in the NFC Championship. To bolster their chances, they have acquired a new player to support <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jared-goff" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jared Goff</a> in his quest for the title.



After a remarkable regular season, the Lions were able to advance to the playoffs this year. They have defeated the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-rams" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rams</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buccaneers</a> so far, but the most tough challenge is ahead.



Detroit will face the 49ers for the NFC title. Fortunately for Jared Goff, he has received some extra help from his team’s front office, as they have signed a 3-time Pro Bowler for this match: Zach Ertz.



<h2>Lions sign Zach Ertz to provide Jared Goff with a new weapon</h2>



The Lions find themselves facing a huge opportunity. The team is set to travel to San Francisco to compete in the NFC Championship against the 49ers, and they will do so with a new player on their roster.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240118#BUS#98798"></div>


Zach Ertz has signed with the Detroit Lions ahead of their game against the San Francisco 49ers. The tight end will be part of the practice squad, but is set to be activated before the NFC Championship match.



Earlier this year, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/arizona-cardinals" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Arizona Cardinals</a> released Zach Ertz. Reports indicated that the tight end expressed a desire to sign with a Super Bowl contender. Now, he has made the decision to join one of the four teams still in contention this season.



Ertz, who secured a Super Bowl LII victory with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Eagles</a>, is eager to pursue his second Vince Lombardi trophy. While his addition will undoubtedly strengthen Goff’s offense, he is anticipated to serve as a dependable backup.



Currently, Sam Laporta serves as the star tight end for the Lions, proving to be a notable target for Jared Goff. However, with Ertz’s arrival, Laporta’s workload is expected to diminish, creating a dual threat that could pose a challenge for the 49ers.

Unfortunately for the Lions, the 49ers are one of the best teams at defending against tight ends. During the regular season, their defense only allowed three touchdowns and 827 yards to tight ends. Nevertheless, Detroit is determined to improve upon these numbers in the NFC Championship game.



<h2>For how many teams has Zach Ertz played?</h2>



Zach Ertz started his career playing for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013. The NFC East team drafted him with the 35th overall pick, and he quickly became a remarkable asset for Nick Foles.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240118#BUS#98786"></div>


The tight end played a crucial role in assisting the quarterback in winning Super Bowl LII against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a>. Despite accumulating only 67 yards, he secured one touchdown reception in their remarkable victory.

It will be the first and long-awaited postseason game for one of the main contenders to win the title in the year 2024. The San Francisco 49ers are eager to demonstrate that their impressive performance during the regular season, where they finished 1st in the NFC, was no mere coincidence.

After flirting with retirement before changing his mind just before training camp in 2022, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> decided to hang up his cleats for good in 2023. However, it looks like a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> contender was prepared to give him the starting job if he decided to come back.



According to Nick Wagoner of ESPN, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> were willing to bench Brock Purdy if Brady wanted to play in the Bay area this season. In fact, it seems that Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan let Purdy know that:



“Early in the offseason, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan sat down with Purdy and assured him that if he was healthy he would be the starter unless Brady wanted to play one more season for his hometown Niners. An ecstatic Purdy understood the logic, but the competitor in him also bubbled under the surface.



‘That meant so much to me,’ Purdy said. ‘I remember him saying, if we can get Tom Brady, we’re going to try to get him. And I was like, ‘Yeah, he’s the GOAT. I get it.’ But something deep down inside me was sort of like, ‘Dude, I just showed you that I can play well in this system. And we were one game away from the Super Bowl.’ … More than anything, I was like, ‘OK, now let’s go.&apos;”



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240118_BUS_98743_Purdy-and-CMC-1-1024x576_83b4290e.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers hands the ball off to Christian McCaffrey #23 of the San Francisco 49ers during the fourth quarter against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on December 17, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona." class="wp-image-93185" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Purdy-and-CMC-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Purdy-and-CMC-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Purdy-and-CMC-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Purdy-and-CMC-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/Purdy-and-CMC-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers hands the ball off to Christian McCaffrey #23 of the San Francisco 49ers during the fourth quarter against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on December 17, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona.</figcaption></figure>



Brady has been linked with his hometown team for a long time, especially when he left the New England Patriots in 2020. However, the Niners initially stuck to Jimmy Garoppolo and Brady went to Tampa Bay, where he led the Buccaneers to a Super Bowl victory in his first season since leaving Foxborough. Now, San Francisco seems to have found its guy in Purdy.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240103#BUS#95672"></div>


<h2>Like Tom Brady, Brock Purdy became a starting QB against all odds</h2>



Purdy and Brady have one thing in common, which is knowing what is like to be overlooked. While the seven-time Super Bowl champ was selected 199th overall by the Patriots in 2000, the Iowa State product was the 262nd and final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.



While that selection made Purdy that year’s “Mr. Irrelevant,” he turned out to be quite relevant for San Francisco. The Niners started last season with Trey Lance being promoted to QB1, with Garoppolo demoted to the bench.



However, injuries to both signal-callers during the regular season forced the team to lean on its third-string quarterback, who took everyone by surprise. Purdy’s strong play saw the 49ers make all the way to the NFC Championship Game, where he unfortunately had to be replaced due to an elbow injury.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240110#BUS#96959"></div>


The Niners missed Purdy that day, realizing how important the rookie QB was for the team. That’s why they gave up on Lance in the offseason, and the only way the 49ers would have started another quarterback was if his name was Tom Brady.



This season, San Francisco clinched the first seed in the NFC with Purdy under center. Now it hopes the second-year QB can go the distance and win the championship.

NFL Rumors: Super Bowl contender was ready to bench its QB for Tom Brady

The Baltimore Ravens are trying to win their third <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl">Super Bowl</a> in franchise history. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a> has been sensational and should collect his second MVP award in a season where he led the franchise to victories over big contenders such as the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> to post a 13-4 record.



The Ravens conquered the AFC North and clinched the No.1 seed in the AFC with one of the best defenses in the league. Furthermore, their offense is explosive with names such as Odell Beckham Jr and Zay Flowers.



So, logic says the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> should be favorites in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> before the start of the playoffs. Nevertheless, as it’s happened all season, they are once again underdogs.



Just remember, the numbers you’ll read next are totally unexpected considering some of the teams which were beaten by the Ravens: Texans, Browns, Rams, Lions, Jaguars, Dolphins and, of course, the 49ers on the road.

<h2>Who is favored to win Super Bowl 2024?</h2>



The San Francisco 49ers are favorites to win the Super Bowl (+175) over the Baltimore Ravens (+270). Just three weeks ago, Lamar Jackson went to Santa Clara and smashed the 49ers in a 33-19 win on Monday Night Football.


 

 


In fact, that performance on the road, followed by another master class against the Miami Dolphins, almost locked the MVP award for Jackson over Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and Tua Tagovailoa. However, it’s not enough for the oddsmakers.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20240108#BUS#96599"></div>


<h2>What are the odds for Super Bowl 2024?</h2>



The Buffalo Bills are the third favorite to win the Super Bowl (+490) after they beat the Pittsburgh Steelers at home. The Kansas City Chiefs (+700) are fourth even with the presence of Patrick Mahomes.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231223#BUS#94029"></div>


The rest of the teams are: Detroit Lions (+900), Green Bay Packers (+3000), Houston Texans (+3300) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3300).

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-england-patriots" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New England Patriots</a> have been a mess this season, top to bottom. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/bill-belichick" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bill Belichick</a> should be the one to blame for that, as he’s been in charge of every single decision, both minor and major, to get the team to this point.



Nonetheless, even though he rarely put <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/mac-jones" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mac Jones</a> in a position to succeed, the third-year pro was also quite disappointing. One could make a case for Belichick breaking him mentally, and chances are that’s right, but he didn’t do much to help his case either.



Jones lost his confidence, and you could tell his teammates did as well. He had an outdated offensive scheme, a bad offensive line, no running game, and arguably the worst receiving corps in the league, but he also looked out of sorts.



Then again, we’re talking about a young player who did show signs of promise when he first entered the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL. </a>He could still have a future in this league away from Foxboro and way away from Belichick, who’s also likely to be fired after the mess he created.

<h2>NFL Rumors: Landing Spots For Mac Jones</h2>



But where could Jones take his career back from the ground? Where could he actually get a starting nod? And where would he thrive the most? Let’s break it down.



<h2>3. San Francisco 49ers</h2>



Reports point out that HC Kyle Shanahan was actually enamored with Jones’ game and wanted to get him for the San Francisco 49ers, but the ownership wanted to roll with Trey Lance, and we all know how that went down.



The Niners claim that they’re satisfied with Brock Purdy, and that might be the case. But if Purdy underperforms in the playoffs, they’ll have to consider all their options.



Sam Darnold might find a job somewhere else, and Jones could join the Niners as a backup to put some pressure on Purdy. He looks tailor-made for that offensive system.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240104_BUS_96015_Mac-Jones-4-1024x576_6073de14.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Mac Jones" class="wp-image-79005" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Mac-Jones-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Mac-Jones-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Mac-Jones-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Mac-Jones-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Mac-Jones-4.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Mac Jones</figcaption></figure>



<h2>2. New York Giants</h2>



The New York Giants should be very worried about their quarterback situation right now. Daniel Jones was one of the worst players in the league this season, and it wasn’t that close.



Both Tommy DeVito and Tyrod Taylor fared much better with the same supporting cast. On top of that, Jones will miss at least the first half of next season with an injury.



Jones should be an improvement over both DeVito and Taylor, all while giving them a cheaper option for their future. He’d be a low-risk/high-reward pickup for Brian Daboll.



<h2>1. Las Vegas Raiders</h2>



The Las Vegas Raiders would’ve been a no-brainer destination for Mac Jones if they hadn’t fired Josh McDaniels, as he played his best football with him as his offensive coordinator.



Even so, the Raiders are still hurting at the QB position, as Aidan O’Connell hasn’t exactly been impressive, and we already know that Jimmy Garoppolo is most likely done in this league.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231221#BUS#93649"></div>


The Raiders first need to figure out whether Antonio Pierce is the right guy for their HC vacancy. Then, Jones could give them a stopgap while they take someone in the NFL Draft and develop him.

The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dalvin-cook">49ers </a>boast one of the league’s best defenses, ranking 3rd in points allowed and 1st in yards allowed. Their ferocious pass rush, led by Nick Bosa, can disrupt any quarterback. The secondary, anchored by Charvarius Ward and Talanoa Hufanga, is equally stingy. This defensive unit can shut down even the most potent offenses.



The 49ers offense found its rhythm under Mr. Irrelevant <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a>, who proved to be a capable game manager as a third backup the last season. With Christian McCaffrey as a do-it-all weapon and Elijah Mitchell (shortened by injury) and Jordan Mason (questionable status) providing a strong rushing attack, the 49ers can control the tempo and grind out wins.



They will finish the regular season with a strong record and a probable small winning streak, they have everything necessary for a deep playoff run where they must show everything they have in the divisional playoff game.



<h2>AI’s prediction for the 49ers postseason</h2>



The San Francisco 49ers have all the ingredients for a Super Bowl run. Their dominant defense, balanced offense, strong coaching, home-field advantage, and momentum make them a legitimate threat. They have a great chance (81%) of going deep in the postseason and potentially winning the Super Bowl.

Predicting the future is always tricky, and anything can happen in the playoffs. The 49ers’ path to the Super Bowl won’t be easy. They face stiff competition from other top contenders like the Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (if make it), and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a>. Injuries and unexpected matchups can also derail even the best teams.



Levi’s Stadium is a notoriously tough place for visiting teams to play. The passionate San Francisco crowd can create a deafening atmosphere that disrupts opposing offenses during their upcoming divisional playoff game.



Head coach Kyle Shanahan is one of the brightest minds in the league. His offensive acumen and ability to adjust to game situations are invaluable assets. Defensive coordinator Steve Wilks has also impressed with his aggressive strategy during the regular season.



<h2>When was the last time the 49ers won a Super Bowl?</h2>



The last time the San Francisco 49ers won a Super Bowl was in 1995, defeating the San Diego Chargers 49-26 in Super Bowl XXIX. This victory capped off a dominant era for the franchise, marking their fifth Super Bowl title in 14 years.



<h2>Does Kyle Shanahan have a Super Bowl ring?</h2>



Kyle Shanahan, the current head coach of the 49ers, does not have a Super Bowl ring as a coach. However, he was the offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons during their Super Bowl LI appearance in 2017, tragically falling 28-34 to the New England Patriots in a game known for its infamous comeback.

The&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;are trying to win their first <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>&nbsp;in 28 years. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott</a>&nbsp;has silenced his critics with a record of 12-5 and will be the biggest threat for the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> and other teams such as the Eagles and the Lions. 



However, the big question surrounding the Cowboys is if they could win a road game in the playoffs. That’s why, when they entered the most challenging stage of the schedule, thousands of fans were wondering if Dallas were ready to be a championship caliber franchise.



In the end, the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>&nbsp;survived one of the toughest stretches in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>&nbsp;facing the&nbsp;Seattle Seahawks, Philadelphia, the Buffalo Bills, the&nbsp;Miami Dolphins and the Lions.



After a huge win against the Washington Commanders in Week 18, their chances of having home-field advantage went up by clinching the NFC East and the No.2 seed.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240101_BUS_95481_jerryjones-1024x576_49087033.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-82584" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28091400/jerryjones-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28091400/jerryjones-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28091400/jerryjones-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28091400/jerryjones-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28091400/jerryjones.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Jerry Jones believes the Dallas Cowboys might win the Super Bowl (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Who will have home-field advantage in the NFC? </h2>



The San Francisco 49ers finished with a record of 12-5 and clinched the No. 1 seed and a bye week. The&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;are No. 2 with a record of 12-5, followed by the Detroit Lions at No. 3 (12-5). Despite a record of 9-8, the&nbsp;Tampa Bay Buccaneers&nbsp;are the No. 4 seed as division champions in the NFC South.


 

 


In the biggest surprise of Week 18, the&nbsp;Philadelphia Eagles&nbsp;lost against the&nbsp;New York Giants&nbsp;(27-10) and fell to a record of 11-6. Thanks to this result,&nbsp;Nick Sirianni&nbsp;and his players opened the door for the&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys to win the NFC East. The Eagles will be the No.5 seed facing Tampa on the road. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231027#BUS#80787"></div>


So, Dak Prescott&nbsp;and the Cowboys will play the wild card round at home against the&nbsp;Green Bay Packers. After that, their path would likely take them to host Detroit&nbsp;and then travel to San Francisco&nbsp;for the NFC Championship Game.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20240101_BUS_95481_dakprescott-1-1024x576_08415c37.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Dak Prescott quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys" class="wp-image-80824" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091909/dakprescott-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091909/dakprescott-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091909/dakprescott-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091909/dakprescott-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091909/dakprescott-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Dak Prescott quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



In the other matchup of the Wild Card round, the Los Angeles Rams will visit the Detroit Lions. Of course, the biggest story here is the return of Matthew Stafford to the Motor City.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231124#BUS#87562"></div>


<h2>Will the Dallas Cowboys have home field advantage in the playoffs?</h2>



After the Dallas Cowboys clinched the No.2 seed with a win against the Washington Commanders in Week 18, they get to host a game in the Wild Card round and, if they advance, another one in the Divisional round. 



Furthermore, if the 49ers lose their first playoff matchup in the Divisional round, the Cowboys would have the chance to host the NFC Championship Game and avoid going on the road the entire postseason. That’s why there’s still a chance to have full home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.



The numbers don’t lie. In 2023, Dallas have a record of 8-0 at home and 4-5 on the road. Undoubtedly, their chances of winning the&nbsp;Super Bowl&nbsp;depend on AT&amp;T Stadium, although anything is possible in the&nbsp;NFL.

NFL Playoffs 2024: Dallas Cowboys still have a chance at home field advantage - Bolavip US

The<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> San Francisco 49ers</a> no longer have the best record in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">National Football League,</a> but there’s no reason to panic. They didn’t look all that great vs. the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a>, yet they know that they can compete with anybody.



Perhaps the biggest concern after this loss is the fact that <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bro</a>ck Purdy threw four interceptions. It can happen to the best of them, but he’s been labeled as their Achilles heel for quite a while now, so watching him crumble against a Super Bowl contender sounded off some alarms.



Once again, all that talk about Purdy being a game manager and not a game changer flooded social media. Some people still aren’t sold on him and his ability to lead the team to the big game.



With that in mind, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan looked to put an end to all the talk about his four interceptions, urging the media to just move on and leave it behind.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231231_BUS_95114_QB-Brock-Purdy-of-the-49ers-Futbolsites-1-1024x576_7b5f7cb8.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="QB Brock Purdy of the 49ers" class="wp-image-71265" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/QB-Brock-Purdy-of-the-49ers-Futbolsites-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/QB-Brock-Purdy-of-the-49ers-Futbolsites-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/QB-Brock-Purdy-of-the-49ers-Futbolsites-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/QB-Brock-Purdy-of-the-49ers-Futbolsites-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/QB-Brock-Purdy-of-the-49ers-Futbolsites-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>QB Brock Purdy of the 49ers</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Shanahan Is Done Talking About Purdy’s Bad Game:</h2>



“Yeah, he was great,” Shanahan said. “I think, no offense to you, but I’m so exhausted talking about the interceptions from our last game, but it’s been like any other week and like any other play. He goes through each play one at a time and tries to do as best he can.”



Purdy has also addressed the four picks and his struggles vs. the Ravens multiple times. At least, he seemed more optimistic about that and talked about it being a learning experience ahead of the most crucial time of the season.



<h2>Purdy Says It Was A Learning Experience</h2>



“It’s a great learning experience just in terms of not buying into what’s going on around and what’s being said,” Purdy told 49ersWebzone.com. “Instead, executing in the moment, making the right reads, being consistent, protecting the ball, all those things. It’s such a good learning experience. And it’s not to say I’m going to be perfect moving forward. It’s football, man, you’re not perfect. But for me, I think it was huge just in terms of being a quarterback in this league.”



The former Mr. Irrelevant also believes it was actually good for the Niners to get a bit of a wake-up call, as now they know what they need to do to get better and address their flaws:

“When things are going well, people can say some great things, and it’s easy to buy into it a little bit,” Purdy said. “But you got to put your head down, go to work, have that chip on your shoulder still, and still prove to yourself that you got to continue to show your teammates that you’re the guy week in and week out. So definitely something for me to learn from.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231221#BUS#93724"></div>


At the end of the day, no team is as good as it looked in their biggest win, nor as bad as they looked in their worst loss. Still, it’ll be interesting to see how he fares in the postseason and whether he’s able to shut down the critics once and for all or not.

Niners' Kyle Shanahan claps back at Brock Purdy's doubters

Niners' Kyle Shanahan claps back at Brock Purdy's doubters - Bolavip US

Determined to improve upon their last postseason run and with a Super Bowl within reach, the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> are bolstering their linebacking corps with the addition of a veteran former Rams Super Bowl champion.



Week 16 brought disappointment for the 49ers, as they fell 19-33 to the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> on a home Christmas Eve showdown that was meant to extend their winning streak.



The 49ers have reached the NFC Championship game in two of the past three seasons. This experience is invaluable in the pressure cooker of the playoffs, and head coach Kyle Shanahan is one of the league’s best.



<h2>San Francisco 49ers’ new LB</h2>



As reported by Jason McCourty (@jasonmccourty), the 49ers have signed defensive tackle Sebastian Joseph-Day. A six-year veteran with Super Bowl experience from his time with the Los Angeles Rams, Joseph-Day is expected to add depth and experience to the 49ers’ already-stout defensive line.



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="404" height="422" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231227_BUS_94458_49ers-new-lb_e59d09f9.webp&amp;width=404&amp;height=422" alt="" class="wp-image-94462" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/49ers-new-lb.jpg 404w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/49ers-new-lb-287x300.jpg 287w" sizes="(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px"></figure></figure></div>



The 49ers’ defense ranks third in the league entering Week 17, surrendering just 17.8 points per game and a total of 267 points over the course of 16 weeks.



The NFC is a gauntlet this year. The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/philadelphia-eagles">Philadelphia Eagles</a>, Dallas Cowboys, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers are all legitimate Super Bowl contenders. The 49ers will need to play their best football to get through the playoffs.



Overall, the San Francisco 49ers are a legitimate Super Bowl contender with Brock Purdy at quarterback. Their dominant defense, balanced offense, and playoff experience give them a strong foundation.



<h2>The key to winning a Super Bowl is the defensive line?</h2>



While a strong defensive line is incredibly valuable in achieving Super Bowl glory, it’s not the sole determinant. It’s more accurate to say a dominant and well-rounded defense is crucial. However, a championship-caliber defense needs more than just a stellar defensive line. A competent secondary to cover receivers and a strong linebacker corps to stop the run and blitz the quarterback are equally important.



<h2>Can the 49ers win the Super Bowl in the 2023 season?</h2>



The 49ers have a strong case for Super Bowl contention in 2023, thanks to several factors that include their elite defense leading the league. Overall, the 49ers have the talent, coaching, and experience to make a deep playoff run. Whether they can win the Super Bowl depends on Purdy’s continued development, overcoming injuries, and navigating a gauntlet of strong opponents.

Despite their impressive performances in the 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> season, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott</a> are no longer the favorites to win the MVP award. Now, the odds favor a new player to potentially be recognized as the best one of this campaign.



The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> have had a remarkable season in 2023. Brock Purdy, previously dubbed <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">‘Mr. Irrelevant’ in 2022</a>, assumed the role of the team’s starting quarterback this year, exceeding everyone’s expectations.



Regarding the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>, they’ve already secured a playoff spot. Dak Prescott has had an impressive year, once considered a frontrunner for the MVP award according to oddsmakers, but that’s no longer the case.



<h2>Odds favor a new player to win the 2023 NFL MVP award</h2>



The 2023 regular season concludes in two weeks. While several teams have secured playoff berths, these final games are crucial to secure the best seeds and home-field advantage.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231220#BUS#93295"></div>


However, many players also seek individual recognition. The Most Valuable Player (MVP) award evaluates their performance across the entire season, demanding consistency and excellence throughout all 17 games.



During almost the entire season, Brock Purdy and Dak Prescott were regarded as the favorites to win the MVP award. However, following their performances in Week 16, they are no longer leading the race.



Individually speaking, Prescott didn’t have a bad game against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-dolphins" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Dolphins</a>. However, despite his performance, he couldn’t lead his team to victory against the AFC East squad, which didn’t favor his MVP candidacy.



Regarding Purdy, Week 16 was a nightmare for him. Against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a>, the quarterback suffered four interceptions and failed to throw a single touchdown. His performance has removed him from the frontrunner position in the MVP race.

Speaking of the Ravens, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Lamar Jackson</a> has emerged as the primary contender for the MVP award. The quarterback is currently listed at -150 odds to win it, with Purdy at +500 and Prescott dropping to +2,000.



<h2>What games are remaining on the Ravens’ 2023 schedule?</h2>



The last two games for Baltimore won’t be easy. In Week 17, the Ravens will face the Dolphins, and their regular season will conclude with a challenging divisional matchup against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Steelers</a>.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231226#BUS#94339"></div>


Jackson has had a remarkable year, but he needs a flawless performance against Miami and Pittsburgh to maintain his status as the favorite for the MVP. Let’s see if he secures this award for the second time in his career.

Not Purdy nor Prescott: Odds reveal a new favorite player to win the MVP award

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/joe-montana" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Joe Montana</a> and Jerry Rice formed one of the most iconic duos in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> history. Recently, the former wide receiver made a bold comparison between his ex-quarterback and the current one, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Brock Purdy</a>, and fans are very excited about it.



Back in 1979, the 49ers made a life-changing decision by selecting Joe Montana with the 82nd pick in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a> Draft. He became one of the greatest quarterbacks in history of the league, winning four <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowls</a> with San Francisco.



Six years later, the team’s front office strengthened Joe Montana’s offense by acquiring a remarkable wide receiver. The 49ers enlisted Jerry Rice onto their roster, and he played a pivotal role alongside the quarterback in two of those four Super Bowl victories.



<h2>Jerry Rice says Brock Purdy’s personality reminds him of Joe Montana</h2>



Jerry Rice is a living legend of the San Francisco 49ers- Selected with the 16th overall pick in the 1985 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nfl-draft" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL Draft</a>, the wide receiver quickly became one of the best players at his position, winning three Vince Lombardi trophies in the Bay.

Fortunately for Rice, he joined a team led by one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time: Joe Montana. Together, they secured two Super Bowl victories, establishing themselves as an absolute threat to any rival.



Rice’s time alongside Montana allowed the wideout to grasp every detail of the quarterback’s game. Now, he’s leveraging that insight to draw parallels between Montana and the current leader of the 49ers offense, Brock Purdy.



“Brock reminds me a lot of Montana, his coolness. He doesn’t get rattled,” Rice said during an appearance on 49ers linebacker Fred Warner’s podcast. “You need your quarterback to be that way.”

The three-time Super Bowl champion also praised Purdy for his composure, quick release, and precision in decision-making, particularly under pressure. Rice is unquestionably a big fan of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/Brock-Purdy-2022-NFL-Mr.-Irrelevant-Age-height-college-and-net-worth-20221204-0047.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">2022 ‘Mr. Irrelevant’</a> and admires how he’s contributing to the 49ers’ success.



Purdy is at the forefront of discussions for the 2023 season’s MVP award. His outstanding campaign suggests that San Francisco may have finally found the franchise quarterback they’ve long been seeking.



<h2>What is Brock Purdy’s salary at the San Francisco 49ers?</h2>



Last year, the San Francisco 49ers used the last pick in the NFL Draft to select Brock Purdy. Usually, the ‘Mr. Irrelevant’ doesn’t get too much attention, but now he’s on the conversation to win the award for the Most Valuable Player in the league.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231220#BUS#93177"></div>


In 2022, Purdy inked a 4-year, $3.7 million deal with the 49ers, carrying an average salary of $934,252. However, given his current performance, a substantial contract extension seems inevitable and well-deserved.

49ers legend makes bold comparison between Brock Purdy and Joe Montana

There’s a specific team that will never have <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tom Brady’s</a> support: the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>. Recently, the legendary quarterback unveiled the reason behind his decision not to root for the NFC West squad.



Although he wasn’t initially considered among the top players in his position during the 2000 NFL Draft, Tom Brady has since solidified his place as one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history, proving many doubters wrong.



Starting with the New England Patriots, who provided him with the opportunity to play in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>, Brady clinched six <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a> victories. Later, he extended his legacy by securing an additional Vince Lombardi trophy with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tampa-bay-buccaneers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tampa Bay Buccaneers</a>.



<h2>Tom Brady explains why he ‘hates’ the 49ers</h2>



In the 2000 NFL Draft, the Patriots secured a player who would later become one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history. While they couldn’t have predicted he would lead them to six Vince Lombardi trophies, their decision certainly paid off in the long run.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231220#BUS#93177"></div>


Despite having the opportunity, none of the other 31 teams drafted him. Interestingly, one prominent team that could have acquired him due to their need for a quarterback was the 49ers.



During his conversation with <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/christian-mccaffrey" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Christian McCaffrey</a> on the latest episode of the ‘Let’s Go’ podcast, Brady elaborated on the reason behind his decision never to support the team that the running back plays for.



“Even though it was my hometown team growing up and they passed on me six times, I still watch the Niners and those uniforms still bring back a lot of great childhood memories,” Brady said.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231221_BUS_93439_Tom-Brady-Tampa-Bay-Buccaneers-NFL-2022-1024x576_445262fb.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Tom Brady - Tampa Bay Buccaneers - NFL 2022" class="wp-image-81923" srcset="https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Tom-Brady-Tampa-Bay-Buccaneers-NFL-2022-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Tom-Brady-Tampa-Bay-Buccaneers-NFL-2022-300x169.jpg 300w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Tom-Brady-Tampa-Bay-Buccaneers-NFL-2022-768x432.jpg 768w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Tom-Brady-Tampa-Bay-Buccaneers-NFL-2022-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://bolavip-us.cms.futbolsitesnetwork.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/Tom-Brady-Tampa-Bay-Buccaneers-NFL-2022.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Tom Brady – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – NFL 2022</figcaption></figure>



“They passed me up six times in 2000, so f–k them and that whole staff that kept me out because I had a chip on my shoulder for a long time,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion added.



<h2>Who was the quarterback of the 49ers when Tom Brady was drafted?</h2>



The starting quarterback of the San Francisco 49ers back when Tom Brady entered the leagues was Jeff Garcia. He was with the NFC West team until 2003; then they used Tim Rattay as his replacement.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231219#BUS#93066"></div>


Between 2003 and 2010, the 49ers didn’t secure a playoff spot, while Tom Brady claimed two Super Bowl victories and clinched the AFC East title eight times. It’s fascinating to ponder whether history might have taken a different course if San Francisco had drafted him.

NFL News: Tom Brady explains why he will 'never root' for the 49ers

The&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;are trying to win their first&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a>&nbsp;in 28 years. Even after a recent loss to the Bills, they have a 10-4 record in a tremendous race for home field advantage with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> and the Philadelphia Eagles. Furthermore, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dak-prescott" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dak Prescott</a>&nbsp;is having a tremendous season and could claim the MVP award.



However, the big question surrounding the Cowboys is their inability to beat teams on the road. Now, as their schedule is still in the most challenging stage, thousands of fans are wondering if they could finally deliver a championship. 



Right now, the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>&nbsp;hold the No.2 seed and already clinched a berth for the playoffs in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a>. Their final three games will be against the Miami Dolphins, the Detroit Lions and the Washington Commanders.



When the Cowboys suffered a 31-10 blowout loss against the Bills, their hopes of winning the NFC East seem to vanish. Nevertheless, the Eagles gave them an amazing reason to believe.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231220_BUS_93295_dakprescott-1024x576_2d508825.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-88290" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28090045/dakprescott-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28090045/dakprescott-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28090045/dakprescott-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28090045/dakprescott-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28090045/dakprescott.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Dak Prescott could win the MVP award (Getty Award)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Dallas Cowboys are still in the mix for the NFC East</h2>



In the standout game of Week 15, the&nbsp;Buffalo Bills&nbsp;defeated the&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;crushing all the hype around Jerry Jones’ team after their wins over the Seahawks and Eagles. 


 

 


Thanks to this result,&nbsp;Nick Sirianni&nbsp;and Philadelphia had a big shot at a two-game lead over the&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys. Then, Seattle surprised them on Monday Night Football. Jerry Jones took notice of the Eagles’ loss and had incredible comments during an interview with 105.3 The Fan.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231027#BUS#80787"></div>


“It was marvelous! I watched every bit of it! I thought I was about to doze off, but then, when the Seahawks made those late-game plays, I couldn’t sleep until 4 in the morning because of the impact it can have in our year.”



<h2>Who will have home-field advantage in the NFC?</h2>



The San Francisco 49ers have a record of 11-3 and hold the No. 1 seed with a possible bye week. After the Eagles’ loss, the&nbsp;Dallas Cowboys&nbsp;are back at No. 2 with a record of 10-4, followed by the Detroit Lions at No. 3 (10-4). Despite a record of 7-7, the&nbsp;Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the No. 4 seed as division leaders.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large is-resized"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231220_BUS_93295_jerryjones-1-1024x576_601dadf8.webp&amp;width=650&amp;height=365" alt="Jerry Jones owner of the Dallas Cowboys" class="wp-image-87217" width="650" height="365"></figure><figcaption>Jerry Jones believes the Cowboys are ready to win the Super Bowl (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



However, if the Eagles win out, they get the division because of conference record as tiebreaker. Then, the Cowboys would fall to No.5 and will have to play the wild card round as visitors against the&nbsp;NFC South&nbsp;champion. 



After that, their path would likely take them to face&nbsp;San Francisco&nbsp;on the road and potentially&nbsp;Detroit&nbsp;or Philadelphia also away in the NFC Championship Game.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231214#BUS#92105"></div>


The numbers don’t lie about the impact the Cowboys felt with Philadelphia’s loss at Seattle. In 2023, Dallas have a record of 7-0 at home and 3-4 on the road. Undoubtedly, their chances of winning the&nbsp;Super Bowl&nbsp;depend on AT&amp;T Stadium, although anything is possible in the&nbsp;NFL.

The 2023 <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season will be over soon, which is why the MVP conversation is one of the biggest talking points around the league. <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/tom-brady">Tom Brady</a> has recently joined the debate, explaining why he expects <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> running back Christian McCaffrey to win the prize over his teammate <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a>.



“I remember the first time I actually got a glimpse of Christian was in the Rose Bowl,” Brady said in a recent episode of his ‘Let’s Go Podcast’ via NBC Sports. “He caught an angle pass against Iowa and ran for about a 75-yard touchdown. I was like, ‘Well, they’re not gonna catch him!’ … He was a dynamic player then. He is a dynamic player now, and I think all of what he’s done this year is a lot what he’s done in the past. It’s a different team with some different opportunities and they’ve been really dynamic on offense. So he is definitely in my mind the MVP favorite and according to his quarterback too, Brock Purdy, who says some amazing things about him.“



Brady told this directly to McCaffrey, who joined the former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers superstar in the episode. Before the 49ers RB could answer, TB12 acknowledged players would rather win a Super Bowl before thinking about any individual accolade. 



“And I know you’ll say, because you’re a great team player, the Super Bowl is the only thing that really matters. With the offseason that the running backs have, do you kind of feel like an award like that would be pretty nice?,” Brady said.



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231220_BUS_93177_Purdy-and-CMC-1024x576_b370ad6b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers hands off the ball to Christian McCaffrey #23 of the San Francisco 49ers during the second quarter against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on November 23, 2023 in Seattle, Washington." class="wp-image-93186" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084752/Purdy-and-CMC-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084752/Purdy-and-CMC-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084752/Purdy-and-CMC-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084752/Purdy-and-CMC-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084752/Purdy-and-CMC.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers hands off the ball to Christian McCaffrey #23 of the San Francisco 49ers during the second quarter against the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field on November 23, 2023 in Seattle, Washington.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Christian McCaffrey knows winning MVP could do good for RBs</h2>



McCaffrey is having a terrific season with the Niners, making a strong case to become the first non-quarterback to be named the Most Valuable Player since Adrian Peterson in 2012. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231218#BUS#92879"></div>


Apart from leading the NFL in rushing (1,292) and scrimmage yards (1,801) in 2023, the 49ers star is tied as the league’s touchdown leader with 20. Running backs are often overlooked in this award, which is why CMC appreciates being in the conversation. 



“Well, I appreciate you saying that, man. That means a lot,” McCaffrey said to Brady. “I don’t get into all the award stuff, but to your point, I just think even being in the conversation is an honor, and specifically for that reason and the timing of it with running backs and some of the stuff, and I think when you look at the history of the NFL and running backs and where we’re at now. Every position other than a couple at some point has kind of had their dips as far as the market goes, and part of it is just fighting against the franchise tag and fighting against different things going on around the league.“



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20231220_BUS_93177_Purdy-and-CMC-1-1024x576_02841ace.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers hands the ball off to Christian McCaffrey #23 of the San Francisco 49ers during the fourth quarter against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on December 17, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona." class="wp-image-93185" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084754/Purdy-and-CMC-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084754/Purdy-and-CMC-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084754/Purdy-and-CMC-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084754/Purdy-and-CMC-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084754/Purdy-and-CMC-1.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Brock Purdy #13 of the San Francisco 49ers hands the ball off to Christian McCaffrey #23 of the San Francisco 49ers during the fourth quarter against the Arizona Cardinals at State Farm Stadium on December 17, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona.</figcaption></figure>



In the event he wins the prize, McCaffrey would become the 17th running back to take home the MVP award. Even so, the 27-year-old doesn’t want to get distracted from the ultimate goal, which is to go the distance with the 49ers.



“But, you know, I don’t know if that’s why it feels good. It does feel good. Obviously, there’s still a lot of football left and that’s really where my mind’s at. But it’s cool to see a lot of the other running backs who are having a lot of success as well. … I look at guys around the league who are continuing to have success and that motivates me and continues to push me to compete with them. But also at the same time it’s great for the position.”



<h2>McCaffrey thanks Brady, but insists Purdy should win MVP</h2>



Brady echoed McCaffrey’s sentiments, explaining he also felt like all that mattered was winning team awards. “You can have a great individual year and you could be a really good player on a bad team, which is not very much fun. I think for me it was always about celebrating the success with other players and the best moments weren’t accepting a trophy, an MVP trophy. It was accepting a Super Bowl ring with all the people that played a part of that.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231211#BUS#91254"></div>


Even though he admits how important winning the award could be for the running back position, McCaffrey made it clear his choice for MVP is still Brock Purdy.



“Well, vote for Brock, man. That guy deserves it, man,” McCaffrey said. “I know, obviously you respect that. He’s been unbelievable for this team and I hate when I hear people say anything negative, ‘Oh, he’s just a system quarterback.’ Everyone’s a system quarterback. That’s part of what being a quarterback is in my eyes. I mean, I don’t know much about the position. I try to stay in my lane and just try to get open and block and do all the other things. But I mean, when you play within a system that’s about all you can ask for. And then occasionally you make the plays outside of the X’s and O’s and that’s all he’s done all year. So he gets my vote.”


<div class="wp_fsn_poll" id="65824b77e4fa417d5ecab86f" data-title="Who should win the 2023 NFL MVP award?" data-options="3"></div>


It’s definitely an interesting debate, since Purdy said McCaffrey should be the one who wins the MVP award by the end of the season. “I think Christian should be MVP. I really do believe that,” Purdy said. “He does everything for us. Runs the ball well, can catch the ball, he does everything. In my eyes, that’s the MVP.”



The truth is that the 49ers have been flying this season, winning the NFC West with many games to spare with an 11-3 record after 15 weeks. Both Purdy and McCaffrey have played an instrumental role in the team’s results so far, so it would be fair for any of them to be the MVP.

49ers: Brock Purdy or Christian McCaffrey? Tom Brady weighs in on NFL MVP debate

Brock Purdy is having a special season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a>, but it’s clear he’s not the only key player driving their success. Several others have contributed to their impressive run this season.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brock-purdy">Brock Purdy</a>, the 262nd pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, has defied all odds and become the hottest name in the league. He won another game in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals 45-29, marking the sixth consecutive victory for them since Week 10.



Purdy’s emergence has sparked a debate about the value of experience in the quarterback position. His success challenges the notion that only seasoned veterans can win in the NFL. Could this be the start of a new era where athleticism and intelligence trump pedigree?



<h2>Purdy’s MVP favorite player</h2>



According to a recent statement from Brock Purdy during Week 15, his favorite player who should win the MVP is his teammate Christian McCaffrey, with McCaffrey being one of the key running backs to the franchise’s current 11-3 record.

It’s like clockwork – every year, the NFL season reaches its climax, and a quarterback is draped in the shimmering cloak of the MVP award. It is almost impossible for a player from another position to be named MVP.



Christian McCaffrey joined the 49ers in 2022 after spending almost 6 seasons playing for the Carolina Panthers, he was drafted during 2017 as round 1 pick 8.



The San Francisco 49ers play in Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens in what will be a ‘Christmas Game’ on December 25 at home at Levi’s Stadium.
