Before the Purdy chart: the chart below shows pass locations and results for Brock Purdy in this game.

After the Purdy chart: Purdy completed 18 of 29 attempts (62.1%), including 3/3 deep completions and 2 passing TDs. His completions produced the game’s largest explosive plays.

Analysis / Mapping Observations

• Both QBs had the same number of completions (18), but their profiles differ: Hurts relied on high-percentage short throws (perfect on short attempts), while Purdy generated chunk/deep plays that led to scoring drives.
• Hurts’ passing attack concentrated to the left and short areas — useful for ball control and sustaining drives.
• Purdy’s success in the deep and middle areas created explosive yardage (two long plays: 62 and 45 yards) and two TDs.

Key Takeaway

• If you care about explosive plays and scoring upside, Purdy’s passing chart stands out. If you value consistent short-yardage completions and possession-based progress, Hurts’ chart shows that strength.

If you want, I can:

1. Highlight only the deep completions and show their playText timestamps (if you want play-by-play mapping), or
2. Produce a side-by-side visual overlay (heatmap) of completion locations, or
3. Filter the passes to a specific receiver to compare target patterns between the two QBs. Which would you like next?
