Niner Noise Podcast: Three blowout losses later, Shanahan’s SF 49ers finally reach bye week

Despite jumping out to a two-score lead and knocking New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees from the contest, the SF 49ers and head coach Kyle Shanahan failed to take advantage of the situation — or successfully move the football — resulting in the Niners’ third blowout loss in as many weeks.

Niner Noise Podcast hosts Chris Wilson (@cgawilson) and Robert Morrison (@rs_morrison) discuss a pair of excellent showings from the SF 49ers’ two first-round rookies — wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk and defensive tackle Javon Kinlaw — in what was otherwise a lackluster performance by the reigning NFC Champions.
