How PFF graded Brock Purdy, 49ers’ defense in Week 10 win vs. Jaguars originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

The 49ers beat the Jacksonville Jaguars in a dominating fashion Sunday at EverBank Stadium, and their PFF grades show which players — new faces and familiar — had the most impact.

Brock Purdy had an outstanding showing, completing 19 of his 26 pass attempts for 296 yards and three touchdowns — but that doesn’t tell the whole story. While coach Kyle Shanahan said the young quarterback made “one of the worst decisions” in his NFL career during the win that thankfully went his way, much of his performance was notable in a positive way.

The second-year quarterback’s 91.7 overall score is a career high and partly a result of efficiency with his deep passes. Purdy completed all six of his attempts of 20 or more yards downfield for 163 yards, three touchdowns and a perfect passer rating of 158.3.

Purdy’s 66.7 percent completion rate (20 completions on 30 attempts) on passes of 20 yards or more this season is a league high, and his 20 completions rank third among all quarterbacks.

On the defensive side of the ball, the 49ers forced more takeaways (four) than the Jaguars had points on the scoreboard. It was group effort at all three levels that can be seen in their grades.

Here are more highlights from the 49ers’ Week 10 PFF grades:

TE George Kittle – 84.8

The All-Pro tight end caught three of his four targets for 116 yards and a “walk-in” touchdown. Kittle currently is averaging a career-high 16.0 yards per catch on the season. The average depth of target for Kittle on Sunday was 19.5 yards.

RB Christian McCaffrey – 84.4

McCaffrey didn’t score a touchdown for an 18th consecutive contest but was very productive in the run and pass game. The All-Pro registered 16 carries for 95 yards, including four rushes of 10 yards or more and his 5.9 yards per carry average is his second highest of the season.

OG Jon Feliciano – 81.7
