Episode notes
Purdy's Timing And Deep Ball Issues
- Brock Purdy forced throws into the middle and looked late on several targets leading to three interceptions.

No Speed Forces Methodical Offense
- The 49ers lack a true downfield speed threat, which lets secondaries sit on underneath routes.
- Without a vertical threat, defenses can aggressively jump routes and crowd the middle.
Defense Neutralized Turnover Damage
- The defense limited the Panthers to three points off Purdy's three interceptions and made several red‑zone stands.
- Jair Brown's two interceptions and timely playmaking were pivotal to preserving the lead.
