STACKED’s take

NeutralMatchup

Purdy's game-manager role with 82% short passes exploited Rams' pass rush but isn't sustainable.

Purdy was not asked to win the game; 82.4% of his passes came within nine yards of the line of scrimmage, with 12 attempts (35.3%) behind the line. He was mostly playing point guard in a limited offensive scheme designed to exploit the Rams' pass rush limitations. This game plan worked to great effect but is likely not sustainable against most offenses, though similar outcomes could re-occur in the second game against San Francisco or versus teams like the Seahawks.
