Position grades from 49ers-Cardinals: The running game came alive

The 49ers suffered another tough loss Sunday. San Francisco competed until the end against the Cardinals. Kyle Shanahan and the Niners will have to do some soul searching to get this team where it needs to be.

With that being said, we look at positional grades from the 49ers’ performance Sunday.

Quarterbacks: B-

Trey Lances’ first drive started well. He evaded the Cardinals’ blitz and scrambled for 14 yards on his first play as a starter. Then, however, he would throw an inaccurate pass to a wide-open Travis Benjamin that resulted in an interception on the same drive.
