The 49ers go into the round six clash with the Baltimore Ravens conceding the second most yards per games in the NFL (406.8) according to nfl.com. Only the New Orleans Saints have conceded more, sharing the same record as the 49ers coming into week 6.
Last week against the New York Giants saw the return of the zone defense by coordinator Eric Mangini. While some areas improved, overall it didn’t work, allowing Quarterback Eli Manning to throw for 441 yards. A new career high.
After 11 years in the NFL, and at 34 years of age, setting new career highs says a lot about how the 49ers defense performed last week.
