Attacking the 49ers: Bowen breaks it down

Great stuff here from Matt Bowen on how the Packers should try to attack the 49ers defense:

1. They occupy the safeties in the Niners' quarters coverage

We know the 49ers are a zone-heavy team, playing Cover 3 on 31% of opponent dropbacks during the regular season, the fourth most in the league. Green Bay will look to clear that out with deep crossers to wide receiver Davante Adams and tight end Jimmy Graham. But it can't forget about quarters coverage, which the 49ers played on 17.4% of offensive snaps, the second most in the league.
