With the San Francisco 49ers coming off an ugly loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 6, a defeat that saw the Niners posted their worst rushing effort of the season and also included the season-ending injury to defensive leader Fred Warner, it was hard to know what to expect from Kyle Shanahan's squad in its Week 7 prime-time matchup on Sunday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons.
But in what can only be described as an inspired showing, the Niners put forth a fantastic all-around effort, as every unit contributed to a 20-10 victory that will keep San Francisco atop the NFC West for at least another week.
