As someone who can only watch this sport in “coach mode,” the curmudgeon runs strong in me. There’s always something to correct. Nothing is ever perfect, even when the score looks out of reach for the opponent; every play matters.
The San Francisco 49ers were in complete control of the team many had power ranked No. 1 in the NFL. And even when the Niners were trailing 7-3, their control of the game was palpable.
You could sense the dam was on the verge of breaking. While it never entirely did, the offense bulldozed its way into the Jets’ territory on every possession after the first.
