Glory to God’: Brock Purdy praises God immediately after epic NFC championship comeback victory<\/p>\n

January 29, 2024<\/p>\n

NFL quarterback Brock Purdy made no qualms about who he was thanking first for his monumental comeback against the Detroit Lions in the NFC championship game. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback brought his team back from a 17-point deficit to eventually win a 34-31 barn-burner to advance to the Super Bowl. Following the game, Purdy was handed the George Halas trophy \u2014 given to the winner of the conference \u2014 and asked by analyst Michael Strahan about the keys to the amazing comeback. “You just led one of the biggest comebacks in NFC championship game history. What was the key to the amazing comeback?” Strahan asked. “First of all, glory to God. He’s given us this opportunity, man,” Purdy began. “For us, it’s a team sport. We knew we had a half left, defense did their job, the boys on offense took care of business.” “Coach called a great game, and we had the faithful behind us the whole way, so we love you guys,” the 24-year-old said.<\/p>\n

Later in the evening, Purdy was asked by a reporter at the postgame press conference to reflect on his journey leading up to the Super Bowl. “Honestly, I think it\u2019s just a testament to God and where He\u2019s taken me in life,” he replied. “I feel like I\u2019ve always sort of had to fight for what I get and work for what I get. But God\u2019s always given me an opportunity, whether that was in high school, college, and then obviously in the NFL,” the quarterback continued. Purdy, who in just his second season led the league in quarterback rating and was third in touchdown passes, also spoke on how his faith helped him overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. “Getting drafted last, people overlook you and all that kind of stuff, and then all you need is an opportunity and watch and see what [God] does. I put my faith and trust in him, and he\u2019s gotten me where I\u2019m at.” “When I\u2019m down 17 at half, honestly, I\u2019m just like thinking, \u2018All right God, You\u2019ve taken me here, and win or lose, I\u2019m going to glorify You.,'” he said about the game. “That\u2019s my peace, that\u2019s the joy, that\u2019s the steadfastness \u2014 that\u2019s where I get it from.”<\/p>\n

Purdy will become the third-youngest quarterback to start a Super Bowl game at 24 years and 46 days old.<\/p>\n
