How PFF graded 49ers' offense, defense in dramatic Week 5 win vs. Seahawks

The 49ers’ 32-29 win over the Seattle Seahawks was a wild ride, and the team’s PFF grades show the ups and downs of the battle. Brock Purdy was under pressure on 16 of his 34 dropbacks, and Seattle blitzed the quarterback seven times. It was during those blitz packages that Purdy only completed two of his six throws and threw his one interception of the game. Purdy again found success in the short-yardage game, completing all six of his passes behind the line of scrimmage and six of his eight attempts from zero to nine yards downfield. Intermediate throws from 10 to 19 yards down the field were a bit more challenging, with five completions on eight attempts, but Purdy found his target on two of his three deep throws of 20 yards or more. Purdy extended plays with his feet quite a bit with an average time to throw of 3.52 seconds, his longest of the season. The offensive line did their best in the trenches while facing a talented Seattle group, allowing eleven pressures. 11 total pressures LG Connor Colby – one sack, three hits and two hurries RG Dominick Puni – two hurries C Jake Brendel – two hurries RT Colton McKivitz – one hurry Purdy spread the ball around as much as possible, targeting seven different players and connecting with all but one — tight end Luke Farrell. On the brighter side, Farrell received the highest run-blocking score on the offense. The offense found hard-fought success on the ground, with 67 of their 94 rushing yards coming after contact. Christian McCaffrey recorded 11 carries for 68 yards, 39 of which came after contact. Here are more highlights from the 49ers Week 5 win in Seattle: WR Mike Evans – 92.0 Evans received the highest grade on the offense, catching seven of his nine targets for 113 yards and a touchdown. Four of the All-Pro’s catches were contested and six were for first downs or touchdowns. Seattle cornerback Josh Jobe was assigned to cover the star receiver and allowed six catches on eight attempts, while safety Nick Emmanwori allowed a catch on his one attempt to cover Evans. While the 49ers’ offense allowed nearly a dozen pressures, the defense did their part to keep Sam Darnold off balance. The defense’s 23 pressures: Keion White – one sack, four hurries Gracen Halton – one sack, two hurries Osa Odighizuwa – one sack, two hurries Jaden Dugger – one sack, one hurry Romello Height – one hit, one hurry Khalid Kareem – one hit, one hurry Mykel Williams – one hurry Sebastian Valdez – one hurry Upton Stout – one hurry Fred Warner – one hit Ogbo Okoronkwo – one hurry Naquan Jones – one hurry Defensive line snap counts of 63 total: Osa Odighizuwa – 47 Keion White – 43 Romello Height – 37 Gracen Halton – 34 Sebastian Valdez – 33 Mykel Williams – 23 Ogbo Okoronkwo – 14 Naquan Jones – 12 Khalid Kareem – 10 Seven missed tackles: Malik Mustapha and Fred Warner missed two each, while Ji’Ayir Brown, Upton Stout and Gracen Halton all missed one. DL Gracen Halton – 90.6 Halton was on the field for 34 snaps and racked up the stats, recording three total pressures — one sack and two hurries — one tackle for a loss, one for no gain, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. The rookie received the highest grade of all interior defensive linemen through Sunday’s games. CB Renardo Green – 92.3 Green receives the highest grade on the defense, allowing only two completions on five targets for five yards, along with two interceptions and one pass breakup. S Malik Mustapha – 71.4 The third-year safety made huge plays in the game, including five solo tackles and two stops while not allowing a completion on three targets and registering one pass breakup. This helped counteract Mustapha’s two missed tackles. Very special special teams: P Corliss Waitman – 69.3 All five of Waitman’s punts landed inside the 20 and allowed zero return yards. Just before halftime, the punter’s biggest kick was downed at the 4-yard line, setting up Halton’s fumble recovery touchdown. Download and follow the 49ers Talk Podcast
