Detroit native and rap superstar Eminem was in attendance at Levi's Stadium. He gave the 49ers Faithful the finger in the second quarter when the Lions were up 24-7 but "lost himself" by the end of the game.

Fans reacted to the ongoing narrative that quarterback Brock Purdy is merely a "game manager."

Brock Purdy "Game Managing" the NFC Championship
Im telling yall, there are plays in here that Game Managers dont make. He continues to be a difference maker for this offense. #49ers #FTTB #49ersvsLions pic.twitter.com/GMGAeeVw3y

Even sports pundits of the national media gave Brock Purdy credit for leading the 49ers to their eighth Super Bowl appearance.

After expressing fatigue from the Purdy hate, Pat McAfee, the host of ESPN's "Pat McAfee Show," said the second-year quarterback has "it."

ESPN sports analyst Ryan Clark stated the second-year quarterback did his thing after last night's performance.

Brock Purdy did his thing!! No hate at all. Dude put the squad on his back. Won't hear nothing but good from me. Sometimes you just gotta show a mother effer!! pic.twitter.com/PtDNfX4kSo— Ryan Clark (@Realrclark25) January 29, 2024

The former Pittsburg Steelers player had previously said the hardest thing he had to do was act like Purdy deserves to be in the same conversation as Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen, considering all of the talent he has around him.

The week of the Divisional Round, former Raiders CEO Amy Trask said there were "seven terrific quarterbacks and Brock Purdy" in the playoffs. After Purdy's performance in the NFC Championship Game, she sang a different tune.

Congratulations @brockpurdy13 - you have ice in your veins, a tremendous trait - you have laser focus, a tremendous trait - you got it done - after the last game I congratulated you and said that I expected the @49ers to be in the Super Bowl, and you are - congratulations again. https://t.co/bHSOjFBV3c— Amy Trask (@AmyTrask) January 29, 2024

FS1's sports analyst Emmanuel Acho discussed how the NFL didn't talk about Purdy's escapability like the Baltimore quarterback.

If Lamar Jackson makes this play the internet loses its mind, but it's just Brock Purdy, so "he got lucky!"
