Purdy leads quick-throw attack designed to exploit Rams' cornerback tackling in space.

Purdy will lead the 49ers offense in a quick-throw strategy against the Rams, similar to the previous 49ers upset victory with Mac Jones. The 49ers ranked 12th in short-throw rate (68.4%) in 2025, and with the addition of Myles Garrett to the Rams defense, the 49ers will likely lean toward heavier personnel and quick releases to force the Rams' cornerbacks (Jaylen Watson and Trent McDuffie) to tackle in the open field, creating YAC opportunities.
