Alright Nick Mullens Jersey , maybe the headline is a bit misleading. Obviously, the team did more than enough through three quarters to put themselves in a good position to earn their first victory of the season, but the final quarter felt like an entirely different game. It was a performance marred by mental mistakes, incomplete adjustments, exposed youngsters and some of the worst tackling I’ve ever seen. Luckily, the final scoreboard won’t have me unironically typing out the hackneyed “snatching defeat from the jaws of victory”, but, in reality, the team backed into a referee bailout and a few overthrown balls to avoid a Matt Stafford-led 4th quarter comeback. After securing a 14 point lead, the team seemingly let off the gas, and settled for a field goaldeep in enemy territory to push the margin to 17. From there, the proverbial wheels fell off, and the 49ers offense was virtually incapable of moving the ball. The most complimentary thing I can say about the defensive performance to close out the game is that they had 11 men on the field. You know, except for that one time that they didn’t, and Kyle Shanahan was forced to burn a timeout. The defense was fairly solid (until they weren’t) throughout much of the game Nick Mullens 49ers Jersey , minimizing the effectiveness of the Lions’ ground game, and forcing opposing head coach Matt Patricia to rely on Stafford’s arm. The historically prolific quarterback and talented receiver corps found some success in the early-on, but it wasn’t until the pressure was on that they really found a rhythm. Two of their fourth quarter drives found paydirt, which doubled their point total from the previous three quarters, and drew them within a field goal of the 49ers. Those two drives combined to chew just 5 minutes of clock, during which time Stafford threw for roughly 160 yards (just shy of half of his total yardage for the game) and two of his three touchdowns. In fact, they had found such success in (frequently) working Ahkello Witherspoon over that he was eventually pulled for Jimmie Ward.The offense, as a whole, had a pretty rocky game. They found success in the run game early and often, as well as capitalizing on Lions’ penalties and favorable field position. However, the passing game was largely boxed into a short-yardage attack, which shouldn’t be particularly surprising, considering the fact that Marquise Goodwin was unavailable to stretch the defense vertically. An extremely poor performance by an offensive line only compounded matters; there is some truth to several of the six sacks surrendered being the result of tight coverage, but that’s a marginal detail in terms of absolution.However, it was a victory. An ugly one Quarterback Nick Mullens Jersey , for sure, but still a mark in the “W” column. Kyle Shanahan had been part of one of the worst chokejobs in Superbowl history, and was fortunate to not let the former Patriots defensive coordinator get the better of him this time. The 49ers have an extremely difficult opponent in the Chiefs coming up next Sunday, and I can only hope they’ll be able to utilize some of the coachable moments that’ll undoubtedly show up in the film sessions.Overview Week 2 review | Almquist, KNBR | Almquist (2), KNBR | Biderman, Sac Bee | Biderman (2), Sac Bee | Wagoner, ESPN | Associated Press via ESPN | Madson, NinerswireWeek 2 analysis | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area | Biderman, Sac Bee | Madson, Ninerswire | Lowder, NinerswireWeek 2 injuries | Madson, NinerswireIndividual Accolades Nick Mullens Jersey , InterviewsAhkello Witherspoon’s bad day | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay AreaJimmy Garoppolo watch: week 2 | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay Area | KNBR StaffKendrick Bourne found redemption from week 1 blunder | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay AreaMatt Breida’s big TD run a major key in win | Madson, NinerswirePierre Garcon’s downfield block key to week 2 victory | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay AreaRichard Sherman displeased with narrow victory | Maiocco, NBC Sports Bay AreaMiscellaneousJosh Gordon rumors | Montero, KNBR | Montero (2), KNBR | Madson, Ninerswire | Branch, SF GateFrank Gore passes Curtis Martin on all-time rushing leaderboard Another season, another huge benchmark for Frank Gore. The former San Francisco 49ers running back has surpassed Curtis Martin for on the all-time rushing leaderboard with an eight-yard run against the New York Jets in Week 2. Gore entered the game with 14,087 rushing yards, and it’s fitting it happened this week considering Martin made his mark with the Jets.Fooch’s update: Gore finished the game with 25 rushing yards, and now has 14 Quarterback Nick Mullens Jersey ,112 for his career.Gore now stands fourth all-time, with Barry Sanders next up at 15,269 yards. It seems unlikely Gore will get anywhere near Sanders this year, but he certainly could surprise us. Gore was the Dolphins most effective rusher in Week 1, but Kenyan Drake is the main guy. Gore will get opportunities, but probably not enough to get up near Sanders in 2018.The question now is whether or not Gore will play another year after this one. If he does, it is possible he could get up past Sanders. After that, Walter Payton has 16,726 yards, and Emmitt Smith is the leader with 18,355 yards.
