Benefited from Seattle's weak edge rush pressure in critical late-game situation. Interior rush was productive (Murphy 2 of 3 sacks), but edge defenders failed to consistently move Purdy off his spot. Lack of pressure proved costly late, giving him time to find Mike Evans on game-deciding drive. Source emphasizes Seattle cannot rely on interior defenders to carry entire pass rush; edge group needs to win more consistently, especially on obvious passing downs and late in games.NegativeProjectionOct 12, 2026

Purdy is much more dangerous once a play breaks down; he has the ability to escape the pocket, extend plays and pick up yards with his legs. Through four games, Purdy has already rushed 20 times for 122 yards and a touchdown. The source notes that Seattle has already seen quarterbacks hurt its defense with their legs this season (Drake Maye rushed seven times for 47 yards in Week 1; Justin Herbert ran six times for 40 yards in Week 4). Seattle cannot allow Purdy to turn third-and-long into a scramble drill; pressure must become sacks, not just hits or hurries, because allowing Purdy to escape pressure and still complete the play is almost as damaging as not pressuring him at all.PositiveProjectionOct 7, 2026

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy presents a unique challenge to the Rams' new defense in Week 1; defensive stars Myles Garrett and Aaron Donald may not fill up the stat sheet against Purdy and the 49ers, suggesting Purdy's mobility, decision-making, or the 49ers' offensive scheme creates matchup difficulties for elite pass rushers.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Remains in Tier 2 in The Athletic's 2026 QB Tiers survey; Baker Mayfield. Check notes this ranking is 'totally fine' given Purdy was an MVP finalist in 2023 and 'played well under difficult circumstances in 2025,' indicating sustained elite-tier performance despite external challenges.
