John Lynch said the quiet part out loud about 49ers' lack of sacks

After 11 weeks, the San Francisco 49ers rank dead last in sacks with a mere 12.

Granted, this wasn't helped by the season-ending ACL tear suffered by All-Pro defensive end Nick Bosa, the Niners' best pass-rusher, nor was it aided by a similar injury to rookie defensive end Mykel Williams. Plus, with edge Bryce Huff dealing with hamstring issues, it's not hard to understand why San Francisco is having a tough time getting to opposing quarterbacks.

That aspect was readily apparent during the 49ers' 41-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday, a game in which the Niners dominated from the opening kickoff, quite literally.
