SANTA CLARA \u2014 Brock Purdy\u2019s will to win was on full display Monday night in the 49ers\u2019 33-19 loss<\/a> to the Baltimore Ravens, and while that\u2019s mostly a good thing, the quarterback will need to adjust his decision-making.
Purdy uncharacteristically threw four interceptions<\/a> in the loss, but his third might have been his worst decision. Several penalty flags already were on the field when the quarterback lofted the ball for tight end George Kittle but was intercepted by Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton.
\u201cI saw some flags thrown as I was scrambling,\u201d Purdy said. \u201cNot exactly sure of what or who it was on, and so my mind was trying to make a play. And honestly, I can’t make a bad play worse. I have to know that.
\u201cFor me to throw across my body back in the middle of the field with a guy on George, that’s very dumb of me. So, I\u2019ve got to throw the ball away and live to fight another play, and punt and be willing to punt. So, that’s something I have to learn from the hard way.\u201d
At the time, Purdy\u2019s desire to make up for his two previous interceptions influenced his decision-making. At the time, the 49ers trailed by just five points with a lot of game left to play.
Purdy realizes it\u2019s not all on himself to win the game, or to force plays when they might not be there, but he felt the need to make up for his mistakes. Sometimes, however, the better decision is to send the punt unit onto the field.
\u201cI think it’s easier to do when you don’t have that many turnovers going on, or the game is a close game,\u201d Purdy said. \u201cBut when things are in my mind off, all right, you’ve messed up a couple times, I have to find a way to make a play.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat’s where I think I have to grow and be willing. Like I said, a bad play happens, throw the ball away, punt the ball, the game’s still manageable to come back. Those are things I have to get better at and understand.\u201d
Purdy\u2019s chance to bounce back will come quickly as the 49ers head back to the East Coast on a short week to face the Washington Commanders on New Year\u2019s Eve.
