Offense
Before a garbage-time TD drive, the unit had one TD and 219 yards in 54 minutes. QB Colin Kaepernick had, to borrow a phrase from head coach Chip Kelly, an “up-and-down” performance: The QB started 10-for-12 before throwing eight consecutive incompletions. RB Carlos Hyde (110 total yards) was a bright spot, although one wonders if his next injury is imminent, given his violent style.
Defense
For a 30-minute stretch, it held the Patriots scoreless on five straight drives and Tom Brady looked altogether ordinary (8-for-15, 76 yards).
