NFC Notes: 49ers, Matthew Stafford, Rams, Seahawks

49ers

49ers QB Brock Purdy was happy his team got the win but was not satisfied with his personal performance.

โ€œI’m excited that we won, first and foremost,โ€ Purdy said, via NBC Sports. โ€œBut for my myself, I expect a lot out of myself and so I know you can say it’s my first time going in a meaningful game and trying to win and everything. But for me, man, I’m a perfectionist.โ€

Purdy is taking on the responsibility of leading the team after QB Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a foot fracture that could hold him out for the rest of the season.

โ€œIโ€™m definitely a guy that wants to do right all the time,โ€ Purdy said. โ€œAnd just because we won, it doesn’t mean I’m on Cloud 9. I want to get better, and I have to for this team moving forward.โ€

49ers LB Fred Warner said Purdy’s experience on the scout team has prepared him for this moment.

Heโ€™s played against the best defense in the league for the past 13 weeks,โ€ Warner said. โ€œHeโ€™ll be fine.

Weโ€™ve got to discuss more this afternoon. Iโ€™ve always been a fan of his but I feel really good about our players. Weโ€™ll look into everything but I feel pretty good with where weโ€™re at.” (Nick Wagoner)

Rams

Rams HC Sean McVay said there’s a good chance that QB Matthew Stafford is out for the rest of the year.

Seahawks

  • Seahawks HC Pete Carroll said RB Rashaad Penny is “still a ways” from getting back: “He hasn’t run yet. Who knows what’s going to happen, but he’s still a ways from getting back. He felt really good about the process that he’s in right now and that’s a good sign.” (Curtis Crabtree)
