As the 49ers prepare for the postseason, there is a growing sentiment from 49ers fans that the defense struggles to contain mobile quarterbacks. It’s easy to understand why, as the Niners haven’t had success this season in the win/loss column against quarterbacks that are a threat to run.
The 49ers’ four losses on the season have come against mobile quarterbacks. The difference between the four quarterbacks is Justin Fields and Marcus Mariota are running Quarterbacks, while Russell Wilson and Patrick Mahomes are quarterbacks who can run.
Here’s a look at the rushing yards allowed in the four games:
Justin Fields - 11 rushes for 28 yards with a long run of 12.
