Rams Coach: Brock Purdy Isn't Reason for 49ers Struggles, Defense Isn't 'the Same'
A coach from the Los Angeles Rams believes the San Francisco 49ers' 1-2 start is owed more to their defense than the performance of quarterback Brock Purdy, according to The Athletic's Dianna Russini.
The coach relayed to Russini how "San Francisco's defense is not the same" after the Rams came from behind to earn a 27-24 victory in Week 3.
No reasonable fan is putting the blame on Purdy's doorstep. His 280.7 passing yards per game are the highest in the NFL and he ranks fourth in QBR (74.6), per ESPN.com.
