2Q - 8:10 - Pass Complete to J. Watson - 9 Yards
2Q - 7:18 - Pass Complete to J. Watson - 6 Yards
2Q - 3:45 - Pass Incomplete intended for S. Donut - Broken up by Purchase

3Q - 2:32 - Pass Incomplete intended for S. Donut
3Q - 1:58 - Pass Complete to J. Watson - 10 Yards
4Q - 11:56 - Pass Complete to S. Donut - 7 Yards
4Q - 6:59 - Pass Complete to J. Watson - 5 Yards
4Q - 4:55 - Pass Complete to S. Donut - 31 Yards
Purchase looked a little gassed after being targeted frequently in the second half. Donut takes advantage and almost takes it to the house, but is finally dragged down by Purchase at the 3 yard line. Portland scored on the subsequent play.

Purchase picks up his second interception of the game and his first TD return of the season, an impressive 64 yard scamper as time expired to put a cap on the blowout.
Summary
Traditional Stats: 8 Tackles, 3 Passes Defended, 2 Interceptions, 1 Defensive TD
Coverage Stats: 12 Targets - 40.0% Target Rate (Targets/Plays in Coverage), 7 Receptions, 78 Yards, 0 Touchdowns, 2 Interceptions, 38.2 Opp. QB Rating When Targeted
Analysis: Outside of the big 31 yard reception by Donut, Purchase once again put together a stellar performance. This was the second multi-interception game of the season for Purchase, putting him in place as the league leader with 5.
Week 6 - at Tijuana
1Q - 10:05 - Pass Incomplete dropped by B. Rodriguez
1Q - 8:42 - Pass Complete to B. Rodriguez - 8 Yards
1Q - 7:16 - Pass Complete to B. Rodriguez - 16 Yards
1Q - 1:58 - Pass Complete to B. Rodriguez - 36 Yards
2Q - 14:43 - Pass Complete to B. Rodriguez - 16 Yards *Touchdown*
This was by far the worst stretch of Purchase's season. Rodriguez took advantage of Purchase's lack of size by simply outmuscling him on back to back drives, culminating in the second touchdown allowed by Purchase on the season.
3Q - 12:10 - Pass Incomplete dropped by J. Jackson
3Q - 8:09 - Pass Incomplete intended for B. Rodriguez
3Q - 6:48 - Pass Incomplete dropped by J. Jackson
3Q - 0:54 - Pass Complete to B. Rodriguez - 7 Yards
4Q - 11:33 - Pass Incomplete inteded for B. Rodriguez - Broken up by Purchase
4Q - 4:58 - Pass Complete to J. Jackson - 18 Yards
After Purchase struggled against Rodriguez in the first half, San Antonio frequently mixed up coverage responsibilities between Purchase and opposite starting corner Juan Marston. Purchase had more success when facing Jackson prior to this long completion.
4Q - 3:40 - Pass Complete to A. Ryan - 16 Yards
Purchase allows another long completion, this time to Tijuana's slot receiver. Purchase however found his second wind and was not targeted for the rest of regulation or overtime.
Summary
Traditional Stats: 7 Tackles, 1 Pass Defended
Coverage Stats: 12 Targets - 32.4% Target Rate (Targets/Plays in Coverage), 7 Receptions, 115 Yards, 1 Touchdown, 0 Interceptions, 118.4 Opp. QB Rating When Targeted
Analysis: Teammate Juan Marston has shown strong improvements since the start of the season, which has resulted in more balls coming Purchase's way. This has been accompanied by some good results (Week 5) and some bad (Week 6). Purchase can be great, and has likely been the top CB in the league thus far, but needs to rely on more than just forcing timely turnovers.
Season Coverage Stats: 54 Targets - 29.3% Target Rate (Targets/Plays in Coverage), 29 Receptions, 387 Yards, 2 Touchdowns, 5 Interceptions, 50.5 Opp. QB Rating When Targeted
