Purdy rewired his reads to trust Evans even when doubled; he's the 49ers' clutch difference-maker.

Evans is the 49ers' primary difference-maker in high-leverage moments; Brock Purdy has readjusted his quarterback programming to target Evans even when double-covered, breaking his usual instinct to move to the next option. Purdy specifically hunted Evans in single-coverage situations and on the biggest drive of the game vs. Seattle, trusting Evans' physical dominance and ball-catching ability to overcome coverage disadvantages.
