Facing Brian Flores' defensive scheme is like trying to figure out how a magician is doing a trick. For 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy, Sunday's game in Minneapolis against the Vikings will be an "illusion-fest."
Purdy said Flores is "one of the best in the league with disguises" and he called last year's game against the Vikings in Minnesota a "good experience." In last year's matchup, the Vikings blitzed Purdy on 63.6% of his dropbacks and Purdy completed 15-of-19 attempts for 192 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
According to Pro Football Focus, Purdy led the NFL in passing yards , yards per attempt and touchdowns when blitzed in 2023. The yards per attempt statistic is shocking because the next highest against the blitz was C.J. Stroud at 8.7. That means Purdy was ripping passes for 10+ yards more often than not when he was blitzed.
