Robert Saleh's creativity was on full display during 49ers' win over Falcons

If the San Francisco 49ers' 20-10 Week 7 victory over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football is any indication, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh will again be a head coach before too long.

It's understandable why Saleh's defense surrendered a season-high 30 points in the previous week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. After all, the Niners lost All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner to a season-ending ankle injury during the game, which is a gut punch few teams would ever overcome.
