How PFF graded Purdy, 49ers in sloppy Week 7 loss to Chiefs originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The 49ers put together an inconsistent game in their 28-18 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium, and their Pro Football Focus grades provide some insight into where things went wrong.

San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy had one of the worst games of his young NFL career, and not much went right for an offense that produced just 15 first downs on its own and four from penalties.

The 49ers’ signal-caller, without three of his top targets for most of the game, completed only 17 of his 31 pass attempts for 212 yards and three interceptions with a 36.7 passer rating.

San Francisco knew it would be without Jauan Jennings due to a hip injury, but Deebo Samuel, who was dealing with an illness only was on the field for four snaps before sitting out the remainder of the game. Then, the team lost Brandon Aiyuk to a season-ending knee injury before halftime.

Rookies Ricky Pearsall, who was making his NFL debut, and Jacob Cowing stepped in to help as much as they could, but the challenge of the Chiefs’ defense proved too much for the offense to overcome.

Here are the 49ers’ Week 7 PFF grades:

Purdy received a passing grade of 48.0 and a rushing grade of 74.3, combining for a 54.6 overall grade, his lowest since Week 6 of the 2023 season (44.1).

The Chiefs’ defense shut down Purdy in intermediate throws from 10-to-19 yards downfield, which usually is his sweet spot. The third-year quarterback completed only three of his 10 attempts for 52 yards, two interceptions and a 9.2 passer rating in that 10-to-19-yard range.

Purdy, who usually is calm under pressure, struggled on Sunday, completing only two of his eight attempts for two yards and two interceptions when pressured.

Offensive line

LT Trent Williams – 55.4 overall grade, 75.4 pass-blocking grade – no pressures

LG Aaron Banks – 79.9 overall grade, 74.0 pass-blocking grade – one…
