Explosive plays fuel 49ers fast start

The 49ers have been among the most explosive offenses in the league while allowing near the fewest to start the season.

Explosive plays are defined as a run that gains ten or more yards or a pass that gains 20 or more yards.

In Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle and Jauan Jennings, the 49ers have a terrific group of playmakers. In total they have generated 24 explosive plays over the first three weeks.

With help from the San Francisco offensive line the 49ers running game has accounted for 13 runs of ten or more yards.
