But he also executed his answer like he plays the game, providing protection for quarterback Brock Purdy and opening holes for running back Christian McCaffrey. If there is a conversation about whether Purdy or McCaffrey is more deserving of the NFL Most Valuable Player award, Williams wanted no part of it. Instead, he pointed out that it is a nice dilemma for one team to have two quality candidates with three games remaining in the regular season. "It means the offense is playing really well," Williams said following the 49ers' 45-29 victory over the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.

Purdy completed 16 of 25 passes for 242 yards and four touchdowns with no interceptions. He raised his league-leading passer rating to 119.0. McCaffrey gained 115 yards and a touchdown on the ground and added five catches for 72 yards and a touchdown. He now has 20 total touchdowns on the season. He had 1,801 yards from scrimmage...
