In a game where the San Francisco 49ers were going to need the best from their best players, they have not gotten it yet.
One of their top players, Deebo Samuel, looked short of breath, visibly coughing, and did not look right. Samuel didn’t have a target or a carry.
Brandon Aiyuk had two receptions for 23 yards in the first half, but it came on six targets, and Aiyuk should have easily been north of 50 yards. He had a huge drop on third down that would have added points to the scoreboard.
During the 49ers' 2-minute drill, Aiyuk caught a pass, then took a hit directly to the knee:
