From the article

Brock Purdy finished 21st in EPA per play in Week 7, but sixth in passing success rate. Interceptions heavily influence that EPA number, so that's not a surprise. Purdy still completed 67% of his passes, with a respectable 7.2 yards per attempt.

Purdy's EPA dragged by interceptions despite solid success rate and playmaking ability.

Purdy finished 21st in EPA per play in Week 7 but sixth in passing success rate; interceptions heavily influenced the EPA number. He completed 67% of his passes with 7.2 yards per attempt. He had only two deep attempts and his EPA would likely be much higher if he completed the second deep attempt. Purdy had the 8th-highest on-target percentage but threw short of the sticks more than usual. He ran out of a pair of sacks and turned those into first downs, keeping the offense on the field, though Atlanta kept him at bay from a scrambling perspective with zero scramble yards. A fourth-down sack and first interception hurt his grade, but the source notes the Niners are always in the game with Purdy under center.
