Brock Purdy faces Broncos' strong pass rush in Week 4 showdown
Summary

Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers prepare to face the Denver Broncos on October 2 at 4:25 p.m. EST. Purdy has not been sacked this season and leads the NFL in passer rating, while the Broncos rank high in pass rush metrics, generating eight sacks. The matchup pits the team with the fewest sacks allowed, the 49ers, against the Broncos, who possess the highest sack count over the last two seasons. Purdy's performance against blitzes will be critical, particularly with the uncertain status of key target Mike Evans, who has not practiced this week due to a rib injury.
