Purdy 21st in success rate, 19th in EPA; made off-schedule plays but statistically below average.

The source is torn about Purdy's performance. While he made plays out of structure that kept drives alive and remained aggressive after an interception, his statistical performance was below average. He finished 21st in success rate and 19th in EPA per play for Week 5. Despite nearly 60% of his throws coming underneath 10 yards, his on-target percentage was 24th. He was only 2-for-6 for five yards against the blitz. However, Seahawks head coach Mike MacDonald praised him post-game: 'Their quarterback is a really good player. He saw a lot of plays off schedule today. Just a tough guy to get on the ground. He has a sixth sense on knowing where everybody is at.' Purdy had the second-longest average time to throw (3.2 seconds) and eighth-slowest average time to pressure (2.69 seconds), with 38.2% pressure rate.
