Sunday very easily could’ve been emotional for Brock Purdy.
He could’ve taken the early bus to Lincoln Financial Field and walked the grass a couple of hours before the game. He could’ve tried recounting tearing up his throwing elbow in last year’s NFC championship to get the memory rattled free before kickoff. He could’ve taken time to reflect on just how far he’d come in the 10 months since the injury.
The 23-year-old could’ve done all of those things, but he didn’t.
