Through 10 games this season, Purdy has thrown for 2,613 yards, 13 touchdowns, and eight interceptions. While his stats may not jump off the page, his ability to manage the game and make key throws has been instrumental in the 49ers\u2019 success when he\u2019s healthy.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_3_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-3 adthrive-ad-cls\" data-google-query-id=\"\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/18190176,120193976\/AdThrive_Content_3\/5e90daf19f500876e949a3d9_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"google-ad-manager-fallback-container\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sunday\u2019s primetime matchup won\u2019t be without its challenges. Weather forecasts for Buffalo predict frigid temperatures, gusty winds, and even potential snow, conditions that could complicate the passing attack for both teams. Purdy and the 49ers will have to adjust their game plan accordingly, potentially leaning more heavily on their running game and short-yardage passes to mitigate the weather\u2019s impact.<\/p>\n<div id=\"AdThrive_Content_5_desktop\" class=\"adthrive-ad adthrive-sticky-container adthrive-content adthrive-content-5\"><\/div>\n<p>The 49ers head into Week 13 with a 5-6 record and are desperately seeking a win to stay in the playoff hunt. Standing in their way are the Bills, who boast a stout defense and are no strangers to adverse weather conditions. A win on the road in Buffalo would not only keep San Francisco\u2019s postseason hopes alive but also provide a much-needed morale boost for a team battling injuries and inconsistency. With Purdy expected to start, the 49ers\u2019 chances of victory improve significantly. As Schefter&#8217;s report confirms, San Francisco fans can rest a bit easier knowing their starting quarterback is ready to lead the team in this pivotal matchup.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brock Purdy will play on Sunday.
