On October 11th, 2021 the Indianapolis Colts will travel to Santa Clara, California to take on the San Francisco 49ers. In this week seven match-up, I sought to understand our opponent and get a better idea of how they may attack our Colts.
The last time these two teams met in the regular season DeForest Buckner sacked Jacoby Brissett and Brian Hoyer threw for 353 yards and two touchdowns before Adam Vinatieri kicked a 51 yard game winning field goal with 1:38 left in overtime. That 49ers team would trade for Jimmy Garoppolo in the middle of that season and would change the trajectory of their franchise.
