The 49ers are widely viewed as a Super Bowl contender with one of the most talented rosters in the NFL, but questions continue to swirl about 2022 seventh-round draft pick Brock Purdy.

The Niners started off the 2023 season on a five-game winning streak but then lost three straight as Purdy began to struggle. 

Purdy and the 49ers did manage to bounce back from a turbulent October, and the second-year quarterback was mentioned in league MVP conversations.

The Niners hosted 2019 league MVP Lamar Jackson and the surging Baltimore Ravens on Christmas night, and Purdy finished the game with a career-high four interceptions as the Ravens blew out the 49ers in Santa Clara.
