The San Francisco 49ers came up short on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, but we are continuing to see areas of growth. Defensive lineman Solomon Thomas secured his first career sack, and finished the game with five tackles, including two for a loss.
The performance earned Thomas his second nomination this season for Pepsi Rookie of the Week. This is a fan voted award, but it’s nice to see Thomas get a chance at some recognition. He was nominated for the award in Week 2, when he had four tackles, including two for a loss, and one quarterback hit against the Seattle Seahawks.
