Purdy's elite blitz management should thrive against Washington's high-blitz, low-sack defense.

Josh Allen highlights Purdy's elite performance against the blitz despite Washington's 45% blitz rate. Purdy has completed 28 of 40 attempts for 10.9 yards per attempt with eight touchdowns to one interception against the blitz; he excels at maneuvering in the pocket, running out of sacks, and hunting big plays. While Washington has depth on the defensive line, their 25th-ranked sack percentage indicates pressure doesn't translate to sacks, and Purdy's ability to complete passes under duress should allow the 49ers offense to exploit Washington's 26th-ranked passing success rate allowed and 23rd-ranked EPA per pass.
