49ers game review: How the Eagles were schemed up and beat up (paywall)
“With the Eagles forced to start two backup linebackers, Nicholas Morrow and Christian Elliss (who was making his first career start), Purdy didn’t attempt what might be his trademark throw: those sover-the-middle, timing-based intermediate tosses to pass catchers between the hashmarks that highlight his anticipation and touch.
Shanahan eschewed such longer-developing pass plays to minimize a mismatch — Philadelphia’s pass rush against the 49ers’ offensive line — and created matchups that favored the 49ers.”
