On Sunday afternoon, the San Francisco 49ers picked up their first win of the season on the road against the Seattle Seahawks to move their record to 1-0. While it wasn't a dominant victory by any means, the 49ers did just enough to squeak out a 17-13 victory thanks to a late touchdown pass from Brock Purdy as well as a fumble recovered by Nick Bosa.
One reason why things were so uneven offensively for the 49ers was the fact that Purdy was constantly under pressure by a Seahawks defensive front that isn't exactly regarded as one of the league's elite.
On Monday, Nate Tice of Yahoo Sports shed some light on one of the key reasons that Purdy faced so much pressure, and the culprit was the team's most recognizable face on the offensive line.
