It doesn’t seem like anyone saw this coming. The San Francisco 49ers started on defense to a slow, sloppy start in their Week 7 road contest against the one-win Washington Redskins.
On the Redskins’ opening drive, the 49ers allowed aging running back Adrian Peterson to march down the field to set up the team for a would-be field goal.
Flat out, the Niners defense got trampled on the ground as Washington held the ball for over eight minutes.
When 49ers finally took the field on their opening drive, things didn’t look any better.
