Third-string quarterback Nick Mullens made magic happen at Levi’s Stadium last Thursday, leading a game-winning drive against a Cowboys team that had outplayed the San Francisco 49ers for most of the game.
When it was all said and done, the Niners upended the Cowboys 24-21 during both team’s 2018 preseason debut.
Yes, the comeback was fun to watch and will inevitably boost team morale, but every fan should focus on the latter half of that previous sentence. Preseason games are all about player evaluation. And based on what I saw from most of the game tonight, the 49ers have some work to do.
