Brock Purdy struggled to connect on deep passes during the 49ers' narrow defeat to the Seattle Seahawks, attempting no throws over 20 yards for only the second time this season. Coach Kyle Shanahan attributed this to Seattle's bend-but-don't-break defensive strategy, which limited the offense's explosive plays.

Purdy's average depth of target was a mere 5.8 yards, and he completed 21 of 28 passes for 159 yards, marking his lowest performance this season. The 49ers faced significant setbacks due to penalties, which hindered their offensive efficiency.

As they prepare for a challenging matchup against the Green Bay Packers, Shanahan emphasized the need to overcome these issues to avoid falling into a similar trap against a team that capitalizes on mistakes.
