49ers’ Purdy: Undefeated Against Seahawks in Seattle
Brock Purdy has never lost to the Seahawks at Lumen Field, boasting a perfect record of 4-0. This statistic raises concerns for the Seahawks as they prepare for their playoff clash against the sixth-seeded 49ers. History shows that the Seahawks have managed to defeat Purdy only twice in their last six meetings.
Recent Performance and Statistics

- His only two losses against the Seahawks occurred during games held at Levi’s Stadium.
- In their recent encounter, Purdy was held to just 127 yards with no touchdowns.
