The San Francisco 49ers came into Week 13 with purpose - and they left with a statement win, a confident quarterback, and a celebration that had the entire league talking. In a 26-8 victory over the Cleveland Browns, Brock Purdy didn’t just manage the game - he owned it.
Efficient, poised, and clearly having fun, Purdy delivered one of his most complete performances of the season. And yes, he hit the Dougie.
Let’s start there, because how can we not? After punching in a third-quarter touchdown that effectively broke the Browns’ will, Purdy busted out a dance move that had his teammates hyped and fans replaying it on a loop.
Turns out, it wasn’t just a spur-of-the-moment thing. “I’ve always been able to dougie but haven’t really done it publicly,” Purdy said afterward, grinning.
“I annoy my wife in the kitchen, so that’s where I got my practice.”
Aside from rehearsing the Dougie on the field with his teammates Thursday, Brock Purdy also practiced in the kitchen.

That kind of self-assured, lighthearted energy? It’s exactly what you want from your quarterback when the stakes are rising.
Purdy even told his teammates earlier in the week that if they scored, they were going to have some fun with it. Mission accomplished.
But let’s not let the celebration overshadow the football - because Purdy’s play was just as smooth as his dance moves. The 49ers led 10-8 at halftime, but it was the third quarter where things shifted.
Purdy capped off a methodical drive by powering into the end zone himself, giving San Francisco the breathing room it needed. From there, the defense locked in.
Cleveland’s offense was bottled up, silenced, and ultimately shut out the rest of the way.
Purdy stayed in rhythm, never forcing the ball, never looking rattled. His fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Jauan Jennings was a textbook strike - quick, decisive, and right on the money. It was the kind of throw that reflects a quarterback seeing the field clearly and playing with supreme confidence.
The 49ers, top to bottom, looked like a team in control. The tempo?
Theirs. The energy?
Theirs. The scoreboard?
Why is he so good at this??? 😂😂 https://t.co/eG1tIu2Ffw

Theirs. And maybe most importantly, the vibe - that intangible sense of belief and swagger - was completely in their favor.
So here’s the real takeaway: if Brock Purdy keeps playing this loose, this sharp, and this confident, San Francisco is going to be a problem for anyone in their path. The stakes are only going to get higher from here. But if Week 13 was any indication, Purdy and the 49ers aren’t just ready - they’re having a blast doing it.
