The San Francisco 49ers underwent a dramatic turnaround when Jimmy Garoppolo took over the offense. The team continued to struggle in the red zone, but they ended up among the most prolific in scoring percentage.
We know the offense was improved over the final five games, but Football Perspective’s Chase Stuart offered even more insight. During that final stretch, the 49ers averaged 41.2 yards per drive. The NFL average for the season was 30.1 yards, and the Patriots led the NFL at 39.2 yards over the full season.
From a scoring perspective, the 49ers had 60 percent of their drives end in a score, and just 26 percent end in a punt.
