Purdy's 49ers: Fueled by a Year of Frustration

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy says the team is entering the NFL playoffs with a "chip on their shoulder." The feeling comes from missing the postseason entirely last year. That failure is now their main motivation. "We're driven by redemption," Purdy stated. The goal is clear: return to the Super Bowl. The 49ers have secured the top seed in the National Football Conference. This gives them a critical advantage, including a week of rest. Their first game will be at home on January 20th. They will face the lowest-seeded team that wins its first playoff game.
