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 completion rate and success rate.

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. Purdy had only two deep attempts and his EPA would likely be much higher if he completed the second deep attempt. He stood out for his ability to create, running out of a pair of sacks and turning them into first downs. He had zero scramble yards as Atlanta kept him contained. Purdy had the 8th-highest on-target percentage but threw short of the sticks more than usual. A fourth-down sack and first interception hurt his grade, though the source notes he's a playmaker and the Niners are always in the game with him under center.
