The numbers from the two games show why pressures are a subjective stat and shouldn’t be used to measure the complete health of a passing rush. Seattle hit Purdy hard and was inconsistent in accumulating pressures, but the Niners signal-caller was under the heat regularly and forced to play with his feet constantly to get out of tough situations.

Purdy had a season-low 159 yards passing on 21-of-28 completions. He threw a touchdown and an interception and rushed for another score. Seattle also batted down two of its passes, one of which led to the first interception of Johnathan Hankins’ 12-year career at the hands of cornerback Devon Witherspoon.

Outside linebacker Dre’Mont Jones continued his impressive second third of the season, leading Seattle with five pressures, four hurries and one sack, per PFF. Defensive tackle Jarran Reed had three pressures and wide receiver Boye Mafe had two. Five other players had a pressure for the Seahawks in Week 11.

Jones had 11 pressures, seven hurries, three hits and a sack over Seattle’s first five games. He has 19 pressures, 12 hurries, five hits and two sacks in the last five games.

However, Seattle’s pressure rate in Week 11 was its third-lowest rate of the season, coming in just ahead of Week 5 vs. the New York Giants (37.5 percent) and Week 8 vs. the Buffalo Bills (28, 9 percent) — both of which were Seahawks losses by at least nine points.

In terms of league standings, Seattle fell to the middle of the pack statistically after the bye week. The Seahawks have been in the top 10 in team pressures all season so far, ranking 10th (189 pressures). Their 15 pressures against San Francisco ranked 14th in the NFL in Week 11.

Seattle has just 23 sacks on the year, which ranks 24th in the world. His 12.17 percent pressure-to-sack rate also ranks 25th in the NFL. The league average this season is 14.7 percent, with the Atlanta Falcons (7.58 percent) dead last and the Giants (20.22 percent) leading all teams.

Early in the season, most of Seattle’s pressure came from outside linebackers Derick Hall and Boye Mafe and defensive lineman Leonard Williams. Those players still contribute, but the load is more spread across the Seahawks’ front now.

Hall, Mafe, Jones, Williams and Reed have at least 27 pressures this season. Hall still leads the team with six total sacks, which is tied for 29th among all players.

Seattle’s Week 12 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals won’t be a cakewalk. The Cardinals offensive line has given up pressure on 24.4 percent of Kyler Murray’s 312 dropbacks this season — just under four percent better than the Niners. Murray has been sacked just 15 times this season, which is the third fewest among quarterbacks with at least 300 dropbacks this season, per PFF.

Murray also presents an elite rushing threat, racking up 371 yards and four scores on 46 attempts this season.

Arizona will also be fresh off a bye. In the Cardinals’ last game — a 31-6 win over the New York Jets — Murray finished 22 of 24 for 266 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed three times for 21 yards and two touchdowns.

The Seahawks will have to balance limiting the damage Murray can do with his legs and hurting him as a passer. If he accidentally creates running lanes in passing moments, Murray will take advantage. Purdy’s tendencies in Week 11 were a good primer for that, though.
