For the third week in a row, the 49ers had ample opportunities to win and came up short. Whenever I re-watch the game, I always learn or pick up something I missed on Sunday. The defensive effort was great, but far too many missed tackles bailed the Cardinals out.
Trey Lance performed better than I initially thought, while the offensive line was much worse. Lance shouldn’t have to worry about running for his life. Let’s say it’s Jimmy Garoppolo. No matter who is under center, the line must be better in pass protection.
Here are the winners and losers from Sunday’s game.
