San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is still making quite an impact in the state of Iowa despite being three years removed from his playing days for the Cyclones. Purdy and the Niners will play in one of three games that will air on Fox during the later slate of games at 1 p.

In Purdy's last seven starts, he has won four games, lost three, thrown six touchdown passes and six interceptions, fumbled once and posted a passer rating of 87. That's about as average as it gets. And he's playing on the best team in football.

The San Francisco 49ers are dealing with some devastating early-season injuries to Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey. It's time for Brock Purdy to step up.
