Brock Purdy trolled Patrick Peterson with a savage postgame rhetorical question after burning him on TD

What a cold-blooded comment from Brock Purdy.

After his overconfident comments about Brock Purdy, Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Patrick Peterson got a quick comeuppance on Sunday afternoon. It was clear that Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers were targeting Peterson in coverage, and they humbled the veteran with two early touchdowns.

In the postgame, after a 30-7 dominant win for the 49ers, Purdy showed that Peterson was probably on his mind more than he thought. And he clearly wanted to single the cornerback out for trashing his ability as a cornerback.

While discussing his individual play, Purdy asked if it was Peterson in coverage on Brandon Aiyuk’s touchdown. Based on his body language and overall delivery, it was apparent Purdy asked the question rhetorically. He knew Peterson was on Aiyuk and wanted to take advantage of him on the field while then talking trash when appropriate — after a convincing win.

You gotta hand it to Purdy. He refused to say anything about the Steelers or Peterson in advance. He let his game do the talking, and boy, did it speak volumes. He certainly earned the right to make a little barb at Peterson like this.
