Coach Talk

49’ers 2022
Hey, exploiting mismatches is the key to football, right? Fueled by some stellar yardage production from our ball-carriers, our team really made that happen this week. Our backfield recorded 265 more yards from scrimmage than the RBs on Minnesota Vikings (423 total yards to 158), as we ultimately quadrupled them at the position, 43.73 points to 10.09.
Minnesota Vikings
Unless Minnesota Vikings wants to go diva-mode on us, then "not seeing enough chances" is not a viable excuse this time around. As a group, our four pass-catchers (three WR, one TE) were targeted a respectable 31 times in Week 1. Those players might need to spend more time with the JUGS machine, considering they pulled down only 18 catches.
