49ers QB Sent for Doping Test After Crushing Browns in Week 13 Victory and the Breakout Performance That Triggered It

Cleveland, Ohio
The San Francisco 49ers secured a dominant 26 to 8 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 13 of the 2025 NFL season. While the defense was rock solid, the player who turned the tide and controlled the game flow came from the offensive side of the ball. A young quarterback who just had his most complete performance of the month.

Right after the final whistle, the player wearing jersey number 13 was quietly pulled away from the postgame celebration by an NFL staff member and led into the league’s testing facility. Witnesses say this happened right after he performed the Dougie dance in the end zone. The timing raised eyebrows everywhere.

His breakout was impossible to ignore. And now the league was watching.

That player was none other than Brock Purdy

Purdy’s Week 13 performance was a clear statement. He completed 16 of 29 passes for 168 yards and 1 touchdown through the air with zero interceptions. He also added a 2 yard rushing touchdown, his first rushing TD of the season and the ninth of his NFL career.

His estimated QBR hovered around 85. But more important than numbers was the way he controlled the second half. The 49ers scored 16 unanswered points while the Browns were completely shut down. Purdy used his legs to escape pressure, extended plays with smart footwork, and managed the game with precision.

He did not try to be flashy. He just executed. And he won.

Kyle Shanahan says he is not here to perform he is here to win

Speaking to reporters after the game, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about Purdy being selected for a postgame doping test. His reaction was calm and proud.

"I have no idea what they are looking for. But if playing clean football, scoring touchdowns, and avoiding turnovers gets you tested, I will gladly take that every week. He is not here to perform. He is here to win."

Shanahan emphasized that Purdy did exactly what the team needed. He avoided risky throws, escaped sacks when needed, extended drives, and made decisive plays when it mattered.

With that Dougie dance in enemy territory and a confident smile, Brock Purdy may have just reminded the entire league why the 49ers trust him to lead their playoff charge.
