Watch Purdy, Harbaugh share wholesome moment after 49ers-Ravens game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Brock Purdy had a forgetful Christmas performance at Levi’s Stadium, throwing four interceptions before exiting the 49ers’ 33-19 loss to the Baltimore Ravens with a stinger.
However, the second-year quarterback went on to have a wholesome moment after the game, exchanging pleasantries with a familiar face from the Ravens.
“People tell me we look alike,” laughed Ravens coach John Harbaugh when greeting Purdy for a post-game handshake.
“Oh, my dad looks just like you,” replied Purdy with a smile.
"People tell me we look alike." 😂

The video captured by CBS Sports Bay Area’s Matt Lively shows the two lookalikes sharing a laugh over their similar features.
An edited post on X (formerly known as Twitter) from the Ravens Wire’s Kevin Oestreicher further demonstrates the tandem’s hilarious resemblance.

When parting ways, Harbaugh made sure to give the 23-year-old his flowers.
“I got a lot of respect for you, man,” said Baltimore’s 16-year coach. “You’re doing a great job. Good luck the rest of the way.”
Purdy finished San Francisco’s defeat 18-for-32 with 255 yards and a passer rating of 42.6, sacked twice with a career-worst four interceptions.
While Purdy had one of his poorest games of the 2023 NFL season, Harbaugh’s respectful words must be encouraging.
Mr. Irrelevant has a friend -- and twin -- in the Ravens frontman.
After all, the doppelgängers might meet in the Super Bowl, which is what many felt the Week 16 affair previewed.
