49ers QB Brock Purdy wins first-ever FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week award

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been named this week's FedEx Air NFL Player of the Week. It is his first-ever time earning the award and comes on the heels of an impressive performance in the team's 27-14 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The honor comes on the heels of Purdy earning his first-ever NFC Offensive Player of the Week award.

Purdy finished the game completing 21 of his 25 passing attempts for 333 yards and three touchdowns, earning a perfect passer rating of 158.3, lifting the 49ers to a 7-3 record.

The second-year quarterback beat Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love for the post-Week 11 honor.

FedEx gives fans the opportunity to recognize weekly top-performing quarterbacks and running backs in games played on Thursday through Sunday through the FedEx Air & Ground NFL Players of the Week Awards.

By winning the FedEx Ground NFL Player of the Week Award, FedEx will donate $2,000 in Purdy's name to a Historically Black College or University (HBCU), which will be used for need-based scholarships for deserving HBCU students.
