“Without a doubt, it’s 4 quarters for a reason, you know? So the way I began the match, it’s like, ‘Man, I must play better; I’ve got to play efficient football,’” Purdy shared after the victory. “But in the most deciding time, with the campaign on the line, you’ve got to do your best for the teammates that are trusting you.”
