When D-linemen just get pressure into him, he’s always throwing off or it’s behind them or it’s overthrown or short ... when you get pressure on him, it’s a guarantee we’ll get a turnover.

Purdy had a great regular season this year. The quarterback led the chart among quarterbacks regarding passer rating when he was pressurized. In addition, he also registered 31 touchdowns against 11 interceptions. The QB covered 4,280 yards of passing. With all these, he broke multiple franchise records this season. The quarterback got great support from his wide receivers and from the running back Christian McCaffrey. Their combination remains one of the best in the NFL.

The Packers’ defense will have the biggest test against this 49ers offense. It proved itself in the game against the Cowboys. But this offense would be more dangerous than the previous one.

All eyes are on the Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love

In his first regular season as the starter, Jordan Love emerged as the biggest surprise in the NFL. Stepping into the shoes of Aaron Rodgers was not easy. He did that and created so much impact that many fans considered Rodgers overrated.

Against the Cowboys, Love proved himself with three touchdowns for 274 yards. Throughout the regular season, Love kept producing the best for his team. In his first season as the starter, the quarterback finished with over 30 touchdowns. His number of interceptions also remained low against the teams. Despite a slow start, the quarterback carried his team to the playoff by producing clutch performances.

If Love manages to beat the 49ers, then it will be his biggest achievement in his season. However, the 49ers defense remains no joke. They are a dominant unit in the NFL and could prove troublesome for Jordan Love and the Packers. If Love and the Packers defeat the 49ers, it would become an even bigger upset than their win over the Cowboys.
