In a recent game against the Los Angeles Rams, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy hesitated to throw a potential touchdown pass to Brandon Aiyuk due to a mixup in the Rams' defense. Coach Kyle Shanahan explained that Aiyuk adjusted his route after recognizing the Rams' coverage breakdown.
With just minutes left in the game and the 49ers leading, Purdy's uncertainty led him to scramble and pass to Jauan Jennings instead, resulting in a minor gain. Shanahan emphasized the unpredictability of defensive errors and their impact on quarterback decision-making.
