Purdy's been in incredible form to start the season, and that form should continue against the lacking Washington secondary, so long as the San Francisco offense can handle the blitzes that Dan Quinn and his Washington defense will present.

Purdy should thrive against Washington's weak secondary if 49ers handle the blitz.

Purdy has been in incredible form to start the season and should continue that form against Washington's lacking secondary (255 passing yards per game allowed, 4th-highest; 14 passing touchdowns allowed, tied for most), provided the 49ers offense can handle the Commanders' 37.7% blitz rate (second-highest in the league). The source notes that while Washington's blitz generates pressure (9th in pressure rate, 6th in hurry percentage), it hasn't resulted in sacks (24th with nine sacks), leaving their secondary exposed.
