Thursday’s loss to the Rams was full of surprises. Dre Greenlaw returned and looked as sharp as ever, De’Vondre Campbell quit the team, and the 49ers’ offense had an anemic showing. Sure, the rain in the first half affected the two teams, but the second half was relatively dry. The 49ers’ offense was the most disappointing unit on Thursday. Was that the biggest surprise? It’s up there, but it’s not number one on my list.
My biggest surprise is how well the 49ers defense played despite the team walking off the field with a loss. The 49ers allowed a season-low 12 points on Thursday.
