12 TD- 3 INT

Translated against a 17 Game season he would have 4363 yards 34 TD and 8 INT ad a 14-3 record. You know what I don't think the hawks or the 12th man at Lumen scare Brock Purdy!
He's played only two of those games against the new coaching staff...and the previous staff was fired for a reason. In the first one, he played very well - 18/28, 255 yards, 3TDs. Nothing to sneeze at, clearly. Then again, the Seahawks were continuing a losing streak where they gave up 42 and 29 points (to the Giants!!).

The second game, after the coaching staff had made personnel and scheme adjustments, his second game was:
21/28, 159 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.

Given the small sample size, it's hard to say which of those is more indicative of how the teams stack up against each other. Given that the Seahawks made some concrete changes to which players were on the field (cutting/trading two starters) and adding a player who made a huge difference in the D (Ernest Jones IV) between the two games, I'm pretty confident the second game is a better example.

Besides, I don't think Brock Purdy or the basement dwelling 6-11 Whiners scare the Seahawks either. :p

I'm pretty sure the second game is not a better example because Kittle was not playing. It was a lower scoring affair because they had some key penalties in the red zone. Purdy also had 40 yards rushing and 1 TD. They were still 7/11 on 3rd downs. It's not like they suddenly figured him out. His ESPN QBR for that game was 81.1 where 50 is average. (takes in the other metrics)
