Kyle Shanahan vs Kevin O’Connell

The San Francisco 49ers have shown an outstanding start to this season, boasting an impressive 5-1 record with impressive defensive capabilities that have earned them third in total defense in the league. While seemingly headed towards further success, recent encounters against Cleveland saw their fortunes take a sudden downward turn as rookie kicker Jake Moody failed to kick an essential 41-yard field goal at crunch time, leading them downhill 19-17 road defeat. 

Assessing San Francisco’s Offense

In their match against Cleveland, San Francisco displayed their offensive prowess early, seizing an early lead with a 13-yard touchdown pass from Brock Purdy to Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason’s eight-yard touchdown run. Unfortunately, however, despite this strong start they experienced limitations with only 215 total yards total offense being produced; 12 penalties that cost them an additional 105 yards made matters even more difficult for their offensive performance.

Analyzing Minnesota’s Offensive Efforts

In their match against Chicago, Minnesota displayed an effective offensive effort, leading to a halftime lead of 12-6. Kirk Cousins made an important play when connecting with rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison for an important 10-yard touchdown pass; tight end T.J. Hockenson made significant contributions with a team-high 50 receiving yards on six receptions; Alexander Mattison played a vital role in securing their hard-fought victory by running for 44 yards gained.
