To give you an idea about how good a player, 49ers edge rusher Nick Bosa is, 36-year-old Alex Mack and 33-year-old Trent Williams received rest days this week. Bosa, 24, did, too. He has earned it. Bosa’s stat line through 13 games, per Sports Info Solutions: 14 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, and 25 quarterback hits.
This season, Bosa is second in sacks, seventh in hits, and third in tackles for loss. But, per Sports Info Solutions' “total points saved” metric, the only defensive lineman having a more impactful season than him is some guy named Aaron Donald, and he’s saved two more points than Bosa.
