The match rapidly devolved into a rout as Brock Purdy sustained an elbow injury in the initial half, followed by Josh Johnson having to leave the field due to a concussion. Purdy was compelled to return, but he was unable to throw the ball effectively.
The injuries prompted running back Christian McCaffrey to advocate for the alteration of a league rule that could have benefited the team. He is pushing for a rule change that would permit teams to carry three quarterbacks for each game. «It feels as if something was unjustly taken from us. I hope they change the rule to allow teams to carry a third quarterback,» McCaffrey stated.
It's worth noting that the rule would need to be approved by the NFL's Competition Committee.
