I think it’s about time that we give long time defensive coordinator Dean Pees loads of credit for how this defense has performed up to this point. All defenses in the league give up yards and points on any given Sunday, but what’s most important for teams in the NFL is in-game adjustments.
The 49er offense, with Kyle Shanahan as the play caller, tied the game at 14-all with approximately seven minutes left in the second quarter. They didn’t score again. The fact that this defense has found ways to keep this team in games when the offense isn’t performing well (not many instances of that up to this point, to be fair ) is something I haven’t witnessed in years.
