What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
San Francisco 49ers
What San Francisco Does Best
Brock Purdy is the player opponents have to solve first. The 85.7 QB Stability grade reflects how much of San Francisco's offense can run through him.
What San Francisco Needs to Fix
San Francisco is asking Christian McCaffrey to create too much the hard way. The 77.9 Explosiveness grade leaves the offense needing too many long drives to score.
Seattle Seahawks
What Seattle Does Best
Devon Witherspoon gives Seattle a defense that can take over stretches of a game. The 89.6 Defense grade belongs to a unit that can create stops without waiting for the offense to build a lead.
Lowest-Rated Area
Sam Darnold is tied to Seattle's lowest grade, but QB Stability is still a strength at 84.5. The current ratings do not show a real quarterback problem.
PFM ANALYSIS
What the PFM Numbers Say
Jaxon Smith-Njigba makes Seattle harder to defend because the offense can score without a long drive. The 10.9-point Explosiveness gap shows how much harder San Francisco has to work for points. Devon Witherspoon gives Seattle the defense you would trust more when the game comes down to one stop.
Brock Purdy keeps San Francisco in this because the better quarterback grade belongs to the 49ers. Even so, Seattle has the better setup because its advantages in big-play ability and on defense point in the same direction.
