Brock Purdy has opened the 2026 season with 11 passing touchdowns through four games for the undefeated 49ers, leading the NFL in several efficiency metrics including passer rating and EPA per dropback while taking zero sacks. The offense continues to produce multiple scores per contest despite significant injuries to the receiving corps, including absences for key contributors that have forced greater reliance on tight ends like George Kittle and running back Christian McCaffrey in the red zone. Upcoming schedule features challenging defenses, starting with a Week 5 road test against the Seahawks, whose strong front and coverage have historically limited big plays. Purdy’s experience in Kyle Shanahan’s system, combined with his mobility and quick decision-making, supports sustained scoring opportunities, though extended absences or tougher matchups could moderate his per-game pace from the current 2.75 touchdowns.
