The Falcons have the 3rd highest percentage of pass rushes with just 4 rushers this year, per SumerSports. Last year with Jeff Ulbrich and Raheem Morris, they were 31st in the NFL in the same category.
This year: 44% pressure rate. Last year: 38% pressure rate.
They are doing this, admittedly through just 6 games, rushing 4 from a group made up of Cameron Thomas, Gervon Dexter, Samson Ebukam, Brandon Dorlus, Maason Smith and 34-year-old recently retired Za'Darius Smith.
Michael Penix when pressured:
31% completions
22% sack rate
Atlanta blitzed at its 2 highest rates of the season the last 2 weeks (32% and 34%)
Brock Purdy when blitzed this season:
10.0 YPA (#1 in NFL)
7 TD, 1 INT
Purdy has never lost to the NFC South and that won't change today. Niners win 24-21
