Jared Goff QB vs. Brock Purdy QB
Jared Goff’s figures a 3,095 passing yards and 33 touchdowns against 10 interceptions. It is easy to reason how Goff is alleged to be leading Detroit’s offensive scheme, as not a lot gets to him as he has a completion rate of 71.4%. The biggest test of all would be trying to breach San Francisco’s defense, which has admittedly, been somewhat of this year.
On the other side of the pitch, Brock Purdy’s figures are 6a 5% pass completion rate, 17 and 10 touchdowns and interceptions respectively. Purdy’s season has been the opposite: quite erratic and average at best and it was the Detroit defense that availed more gaps than intended. The lack of resolute protection from Detroit allowed him to take the lead but he shouldn’t have relied on that happening.
It will all boil down to the two quarterbacks’ showcase off abilities. Goff is turning out to be every bit as expected with his efficiency, and ability to score but he will not go untested as the 49er’s will deploy Purdy to attack from the deep end using his receivers.
Detroit’s Dynamic Duo: Goff’s Arsenal
In the previous matches in which Detroit has taken part, Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown have greatly contributed to the offensive dominance for them. Gibbs and his gentle rushing, and St. Brown and his seemingly favourite pass catching, have always been dependable with the ball. Such recent displays as Gibbs’s impressive moving of the chains also through rushes against both Chicago and Buffalo as well as St. Brown’s great offensive touches should scare the 49ers’ defense unit.
San Francisco’s Struggle and Strategy
The 49ers’ season hasn’t been amazing, but some have struggled to shine, including Sr, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle. To make an upset against Detroit, the 49ers have to utilize the talents of Samuel and Kittle to the maximum. Moreover, their last games, which were losses to Miami and the Rams, will certainly motivate these guys to prove everyone otherwise in this matchup.
