Two games in and the 49ers are still looking for their 1st touchdown and win of the season. The offense has stalled to start the season and most of that blame can be laid on quarterback Brian Hoyer. He and Kyle Shanahan get another chance to jumpstart the offense on Thursday night. While the start of the season hasn’t gone the way the team would like, the defense has been a big bright spot. They are playing like a top 10 defense, which is a major jump from last season.
One reason for the defensive jump is DeForest Buckner.
