Week 6 for the San Francisco 49ers featured a matchup with another 1-4 team, both desperate for a win. 49ers fullback Bruce Miller, who has been somewhat quiet this season, had a more active role early in the game, getting all 3 of his receptions for 89 yards in the first quarter. Why he hasn't been utilized more has been a question on the minds of many faithful, including mine. Unofficial snap counts for Miller from Jeff Deeney at Pro Football Focus were 23/60 snaps, (1st half 13/36, 2nd half 10/24; including plays nullified by penalty). He played 7/8 of the final plays of the game which leaves only three other plays in the remainder of the second half.
