Evans led all receivers in targets and dominated red zone; 7 rec, 113 yards vs elite Seattle secondary.

Evans dominated target share against Seattle's elite secondary; he received more targets than the rest of the receivers combined, with 57.1% of late-down targets and 40% of red-zone targets. He finished 7 receptions on 10 targets for 113 yards with an average depth of target of 15.8 yards, showcasing Purdy's clear preference to attack downfield through Evans. The source highlights a 12-play drive where Evans made consecutive plays—a first-down reception beating the boundary cornerback, a 15-yarder after a penalty, a 23-yard third-and-10 conversion, and a 28-yard sideline catch on 2nd and 21—as 'the most impactful drive by a skill player under Kyle Shanahan' the source can remember.
