How PFF graded Purdy, 49ers in dominant Week 1 win vs. Jets

How PFF graded Purdy, 49ers in dominant Week 1 win vs. Jets originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The 49ers might not have made it into the end zone as many times as they would have liked in their 32-19 win over the New York Jets on Monday Night, but there were plenty of stand-out performances on both sides of the ball.

Without Christian McCaffrey on the field due to a calf/Achilles injury, Jordan Mason took advantage of his opportunities and carried the ball a whopping 28 times for 147 yards and a touchdown. Brandon Aiyuk and Trent Williams, who missed training camp before finalizing contract extensions, both were contributors on the field.

Outside of Williams leaving the game for an IV in the second half, the left tackle looked like his usual dominant self on the field. Aiyuk caught two of his five targets for 28 yards.

The 49ers’ defense stifled the Jets’ ground game, allowing only 68 yards rushing while managing two takeaways — one forced fumble and one interception of Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers on a pass that was deflected by Deommodore Lenoir and subsequently caught by Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles.

Here are the 49ers’ PFF grades from Week 1:

Offense:

QB Brock Purdy – 89.6

Purdy’s overall grade of 89.6 was the highest of any quarterback in Week 1. Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was No. 2 at 88.1. Purdy’s sweet spot is still 10-19 yards downfield, which is where the 49ers signal-caller threw a perfect 7-for-7 for 120 yards.

RB Jordan Mason – 73.0

Mason bulldozed his way to a career-best 147 rushing yards, 96 of which came after contact. Mason’s nine forced missed tackles ranked second in Week 1 behind New England Patriots Rhamondre Stevenson.

The undrafted free agent’s five rushes of 10 yards or more was tied for top in the league with Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. Mason led the league, tying with Houston Texans Joe Mixon with nine first downs.

LT Trent Williams – 81.6

Williams’ holdout did not appear to hamper the All-Pro…
