If it weren't enough, the next QB in line, after Purdy, ,Josh Johnson, suffered a concussion in the 3rd quarter and Purdy had to return to the game to salvage whatever he could.

"I'd been throwing after the hit occurred on the sideline just to see where I was at. But even in those throws it was painful," Purdy said. "So, I couldn't throw anything probably over 10 yards, 5 yards. So, that's why we just had some screens. It was really our only option when I went back in."
