The San Francisco 49ers lost a strange preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts, 23-17. While there was a lot of things to get hopeful by the starters, the inability to finish plays on both sides of the ball leaves a lot to work on.
Beyond the starters, backup quarterback C.J Beathard had his ups and downs. He took some tough hits, but was also 7-of-8 for 83 yards. Nick Mullens managed to bring the 49ers back into the game in the final minutes thanks to a nicely timed pass to Aldrick Robinson, but also coughed up a fumble in his first drive, and threw an interception to close out the game.
