Dontae Johnson’s bad game vs. Texans: The 3rd quarter
Dontae Johnson shouldn’t be done with the San Francisco 49ers because he failed to cover DeAndre Hopkins, one of the absolute best receivers in the league. But he did have an exceptionally poor game against Hopkins, far beyond the scope of what generally applies as a “bad game.”
Johnson was soundly beaten in every aspect of his game on Sunday. He was woefully out of place, falling for the same exact move from Hopkins not once or twice, but nearly 10 times. Every adjustment that was presumably made by Robert Saleh to account for this, Hopkins still burned Johnson.
