49ers D/ST Dominant In Win

49ers D/ST Dominant In Win

one year ago

The San Francisco 49ers defense/special teams unit dominated the Steelers offense in Pittsburgh on Sunday. Fantasy managers who started San Francisco were rewarded with five sacks, two interceptions, and only seven points allowed. The 49ers' run defense gave up just 41 yards on the ground on only 10 carries. San Francisco's offense got out to a large early lead, causing Pittsburgh to essentially abandon the run for most of the game. The Steelers found a bit of traction through the air, but the 49ers made them pay for their one-dimensionality with multiple sacks and picks. They will be a must-start in Week 2 when they will travel to Los Angeles to torment the Rams.
