One of the big things of note has been San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy’s huge night in the 48-27 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Arguably the best game of his career.

When the New England Patriots traded defensive lineman Keion White to the San Francisco 49ers in late October, a pair of 2026 draft picks was involved: a sixth-rounder going back to the Patriots, and a seventh-rounder moving west alongside White.

The desperate Indianapolis Colts (8-7) were fighting for their increasingly slim playoff odds, but if you want to blame someone after falling to the San Francisco 49ers (11-4), 48-27, on Monday Night Football, don’t blame grizzled veteran Philip Rivers (i.e., ‘Grandpa Phil’).
