The 49ers' defense has been exceptional this season, led by superstar edge rusher Nick Bosa. Bosa is averaging over a sack per game, and his 31 pressures are tied for the NFL lead despite him missing a game and a half worth of action this season.
Bosa’s 22 percent pressure rate leads the NFL, and for perspective's sake, fellow Defensive Player of the Year candidate Micah Parsons is at 16.9 percent this season. Bosa has been transcendent this season, but a pair of other 49ers pass rushers have also had a major impact this season.
Charles Omenihu is second on the team with 19 pressures generated this season, including at least three in four of the six games the 49ers have played this season.
