The 49ers secured a 26-8 over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday afternoon, with Purdy putting in an impressive performance and throwing two touchdowns.
He also recorded a two-yard touchdown of his own in the third quarter and, after, broke out the ‘Dougie,’ a throwback dance move that first hit pop culture in 2010.
The impromptu celebration stunned tight end George Kittle, whose helmet-slapping, wide-eyed reaction quickly became the internet’s favorite moment of the game.
The tight end’s reaction was equally as hilarious as Purdy’s celebration dance and quickly caught attention on social media.
Taking to X, one user posted a video of the incident and wrote: ‘George Kittle’s mind was blown when Brock Purdy did the Dougie’.

Meanwhile, a number of fans took a moment to praise the dance moves on show.
‘Ohhh…Mr. Purdy is getting Swaggy,’ one user wrote on X.
Another said: ‘Didn’t think he had it in him’.
‘Like, dude you can DANCE?!,’ another wrote on social media.
Kittle addressed the moment in his post-game interview and said: ‘He was just really good at it. I was just more surprised. God forbid a white guy has a little bit of motion.’
Elsewhere on the night, one star called out an opponent post-game and said: ‘I’m surprised nobody punched him in the jaw yet’.
Browns star Shelby Harris was left incensed over one incident during the third quarter, when teammate Maliek Collins was carted off the field with an injury.
As he exited the field, 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings took the opportunity to dish out some trash talk to his injured rival – which didn’t sit well with Harris.

When speaking to reporters afterwards, Harris called out Jennings and made reference to an incident last Monday where the 49ers star was punched by a rival.
‘He’s a h** and I want that known,’ Harris told reporters in the locker room.
‘Like I see why he got punched in the nuts, because he said some things that you should not say to another man, ever.
‘But, like, I don’t respect it because you say that then run behind your O-line. That’s some real soft s*** and I want that known. I see exactly why they punched him in the nuts, I’m surprised nobody punched him in the jaw yet.’
