STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Purdy's interception to Bates was a bad throw on a play he intended to throw away.

Purdy threw an interception to Jessie Bates III on a play where he intended to throw the ball away out of bounds; he initially considered throwing to Christian Kirk on the scramble but decided against it. Purdy acknowledged it was a bad throw, though the source notes Bates made an exceptional play that would succeed only about one in ten times. The interception was part of a broader pattern of near-misses for Purdy, including a phantom touchdown to Jordan Watkins and a dropped pass to Brandon Aiyuk in the NFC Wild Card.
