The San Francisco 49ers offense is going to have to be notably different now that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is out for the year with a season-ending ACL injury.
It’s been successful already for head coach Kyle Shanahan, but the Niners’ running game now will look to be the focal point for the offense. This serves to take pressure off No. 2 signal-caller C.J. Beathard, who’ll need a strong rushing attack behind now-featured runner Matt Breida, who just happens to league the NFL with an astounding 8.6 yards per carry.
Breida and the 49ers now face the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 4.
