Ahead of their Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the San Francisco 49ers ranked seventh in the NFL in total yards per game (361.0) but hadn't offered up a very balanced offensive attack.
While the Niners led the league in passing, throwing for 271.3 yards per game, they ranked a lowly 26th in rushing with just 89.7 yards per contest. That's not the type of Kyle Shanahan offense San Francisco fans have grown accustomed to, one that wears out opposing defenses and runs all sorts of time off the clock.
Now, if the 49ers were in the situation they were a season ago, when Christian McCaffrey played all of four games, these numbers might make a little more sense.
